After first client service instance 140 creates the entry for the transaction in the database in stage 230, method 200 may proceed to stage 240 where first client service instance 140 may send the first message through transaction persistence module and load balancer 130 to first target service instance 155 corresponding to the transaction. For example, first client service instance 140 may forward the first message to the computed target instance, in this example, first target service instance 155.

From stage 240, where first client service instance 140 sends the first messages to first target service instance 155 corresponding to the transaction, method 200 may advance to stage 250 where first client service instance 140 may receive a current message having the identifier. For example, the current message may comprise a message in a DOCSIS transaction received from client device 105 through node 110. The current message may be a message in the same transaction as the first message, however, the current message may be subsequent in time relative to the first message. The current message may have the same identifier as the first message.
