CLB—Connection Load Balancer

The Connection Load Balancer (CLB) directs incoming content to the most optimal storage service based on a variety of criteria. The CLB ranks nodes based on several factors such as availability, and system load. When the most optimal node has been chosen, the CLB establishes an outgoing connection and forwards the traffic to the chosen node.

The CLB serves as a connection pipeline between the remote entity and an LDR for DICOM.
