Question by Chris Watts · Aug 10, 2016 at 01:47 PM ·

Load Balancer behaviour

Hey All,

Just a quick question regarding the behaviour of the Dynamic Load balancer. I attempted searching the forums but didn't find a answer.

We currently have a small cluster of 2 edge servers, one of which is running the Dynamic load Balancer (4). It all seems to be working fine for the most part.

We're running the load balancer with the "bandwidth limit" selector. My question is, should I expect the load balancer to spread the load evenly across the edge servers until the bandwidth limit fills up? Or is the expected behaviour to fill the bandwidth limit on the first server, then direct client to the second, fill it, and direct to the 3rd? This is the current behaviour I am seeing.

I was kinda hoping for more of a round-robin approach, where the LB would would RR between edge servers until limits are reached. Is this doable?

Thanks!

Hi,

The decision order for this method should be that the load balancer will redirect to the server with the most bandwidth available. Are you not seeing this behaviour yourself?

Regards,

Paul
