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.
