6Choose a algorithm. The default algorithm is Round-robin. Table 10 describes the available algorithms.

Table 10 Supported Algorithms and Description

Supported Algorithms	Description

Destination	The Destination IP address of the client's packets is
	hashed and used as an index to an array of active
	servers bound to the service. This is appropriate for
	redirection of sessions between a smaller set of clients
	and a larger set of servers, for example, local users of
	the extraNet, or the World-Wide Web
Round Robin	Each new connection is assigned to the next server in
	the list. This distributes connections evenly between
	the servers.
Weighted Round Robin	Similar to Round Robin, except that N consecutive new
	connections are assigned to a server before selecting
	the next server in the list, where N is the weight
	assigned to the server. Servers with higher
	performance or capacity should be assigned higher
	weight.
	The weight assigned to the server is assigned using the
	Assign caches to services (Advanced)... window. A
	weight field is provided.
Least Connections	Each new connection is assigned to the server having
	the fewest number of open connections. If several
	servers have the same low number of open
	connections, then the new connection is sent to the
	server that was least recently sent a new connection
Weighted Least	Similar to Least Connections, except that N consecutive
Connections	new connections are assigned to a server before next
	selecting the server with the least number of open
	connections, where N is the weight assigned to the
	server

7Leave Sticky Mode field set to Off.

8The default health check is Ping, click Next. Other available health checks are:

■Ping — Server Load Balancer periodically pings each server using ICMP Echo. The number of retries are configurable. If successive ping attempts fail, the server is marked as down and is removed from the pool of available servers.
