Fastpath RoundRobinDispatcher.java

Folks,

Fastpath dispatches live requests in a round robin system, waiting for each agent in turn to either accept or reject the chat request. I want to change it so that it broadcasts the request simultaneously to all agents, but I have some confusion as to how this should be handled in the code (see below). First question is if I send the offer to every AgentSession up front, and the offer is accepted twice, if there is a way to distinguish which agent the accepted belongs to?

Thanks,

BEA
