Claim:
1. A module comprising a user interface, a data communication interface, a network protocol manager, and a message storage entity commonly configured for implementing a method of dispatching a plurality of messages incoming into a dispatching server, each incoming message being issued by a source application and targeted to at least a destination application; the source application; the destination application, and the dispatching server residing within a server-client network, the method which comprises the following steps: a) defining a maximum rate of incoming messages per unit time; b) choosing a message rate reduction policy; c) starting a process to periodically determine a current rate of incoming messages per unit time; d) dispatching the message if the current rate is smaller than a maximum rate; e) activating the message rate reduction policy if the current rate of incoming messages is higher than the maximum rate, wherein the message rate reduction policy applies a hysteresis mechanism by carrying out the following steps: f) monitoring a result of the process and adapting a totality of parameters for the message rate reduction in case the current rate of incoming messages has dropped below the maximum rate.
