Single Answer
0Jack has deployed a load balancer for his organization. When a new connection is made, the load balancer assigns the connection to the next server in a list, moving through the list over time as it distributes connections. What type of load balancing algorithm is in use?
Answer Options
A
Capacity- based
B
Round- robin
C
Least load
D
User pinning
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
Round-robin load balancer algorithms spread load by assigning incoming connections to servers or services on a list. This helps to spread the load evenly even without awareness of the relative load each connection creates or that the server is under simply by relying on connections evening out over time. Load-based and capacity-based models use more knowledge of the state of the servers or services. User pinning is not a load balancing model.
