1. Introduction
Reliable Server Pooling defines protocols for providing highly
available services. The Aggregate Server Access Protocol (ASAP)
provides session management and server selection for applications.
Upon request for a server selection -- denoted as handle resolution
-- an ENRP server returns a list of selected PE identities. The
number of PE identities to be returned is not specified by RSerPool.
Furthermore the ASAP protocol does not contain a way for letting the
requesting instance specify it.
As shown in [Dre2006], [IJAIT2009], [IJHIT2008], selecting too many
entries does not make sense for the application, but on the other
hand also result in significant processing and network overhead.
Furthermore, it has been shown in [LCN2005] that the number of
requested elements is usually 1, but there are application cases
where more PE identities have to be returned. That is, there should
be a possibility to specify the number of requested PE items upon a
handle resolution.
1.1. Scope
The Handle Resolution option defined in this draft simply defines an
option to let the PU-side specify the desired number of PE identities
from the ENRP server.

the Aggregate Server Access Protocol and Endpoint Handlespace
Redundancy Protocol Common Parameters document RFC 5354 [RFC5354].

"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
