Custom Load balancing allows you to distribute client requests across multiple servers and optimize resource utilization. Load balancers improve server fault tolerance and end-user response time. In a scenario with a limited number of servers providing service to a large number of clients, a server can become overloaded and degrade server performance. Load balancing is used to prevent bottlenecks by forwarding the
Load balancing uses a number of algorithms, called load balancing methods, to determine how to distribute the load among the servers. When a Load balancer is configured to use the hash method, it computes a hash value then sends the request to the server. Hash load balancing is similar to persistence based load balancing, ensuring that connections within existing user sessions are
Load balancing uses a number of algorithms, called load balancing methods, to determine how to distribute the load among the servers. When a Load balancer is configured to use the least response time method, it selects the service with the least number of active connections and the least average response time. The response time also called Time to First Byte, or TTFB
