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.
