Load Balancing
- Load Balancing is a technique to distribute the workload across two or more network links in order to maximize throughput, minimise response time, and avoid overload
- Using multiple network links with load balancing, instead of single network links, may increase reliability through redundancy
Types of Load Balancing
- Sub-Packet Load Balancing (MLPPP)
- Per Packet Load Balancing (Bonding)
- Per Connection Load Balancing (nth)
- Per address-pair Load Balancing (ECMP, PCC,Bonding)
- Custom Load Balancing (Policy Routing)
- Bandwidth based Load Balancing (MPLS RSVP-TE Tunnels)
