I am curious as to why you wrote your own session store. Is this to allow true load-balancing without the affinity requirement of a machine-based session?

Handling session state with my own code let me improve the UI/UX.

Yes, with the session state store as just a simple program, actually just a console application, communicating with just simple TCP/IP sockets, there is a wide range of options for having many Web servers sharing several session state stores. So, get a 'scalable' solution with some options for more in reliability. And don't need 'session affinity' from a front end Cisco box.

The collection class I used was

SortedDictionary(Of TKey, TValue) Class
