1. An apparatus configured for use as a first node among a plurality of nodes for storing session state data of a session between a client device and the first node, the first node configured to:
deliver a service to the client device during the session and specified by a session identifier;
during the session, using the session identifier to uniquely identify and select, from among a plurality of other nodes at least a second node in the system on which session state data associated with the session is to be saved, such that another node in the system is able to resume the session after locating the session state data using the session identifier, and without contacting a centralized mechanism that specifies where session state data is stored; and
saving the session state data to the second node that is selected.
