Advanced Load Balancing
Workload managers are more
sophisticated load balancers.
They determine the current utilization of
the resources in their pool, the response
time, the work queue length, connection
latency and capacity, and other factors in
order to assign tasks to each resource.
Other features in load balancers are
polling resources for their health.
the ability to bring standby servers online
(priority activation).
, workload weighting based on a resource’s
capacity (asymmetric loading).
HTTP traffic compression.
TCP offload and buffering, security and
authentication, and packet shaping using
content filtering and priority queuing.
An Application Delivery Controller (ADC) is a
combination of load balancer and application
server. It is placed between a firewall/router
and a data centre providing the web services
Advanced Load Balancing
ADCs are also referred to as a content
switch, multilayer switch, or web switch.
