Answer from AI
Main algorithms for distributing incoming traffic among server nodes:
- Round Robin — requests are sequentially directed to each server in a circle.
- Least Connections — the request is directed to the server with the fewest active connections.
- IP Hash — server selection is based on hashing the client's IP address, ensuring session persistence on the same server.
- Weighted Round Robin — like Round Robin, but servers are assigned weights based on their capacity.
- Weighted Least Connections — like Least Connections, but considering the server's weight.
These algorithms help balance the load and ensure system fault tolerance.
