Load Balancing
Load balancing is the process of
distributing workloads across multiple
servers or resources to ensure that
no single resource is overworked or
overwhelmed. The goal of load
balancing is to improve the overall
performance and availability of a
network or system.

There are several reasons why


one should know about load
balancing:
01. Improved Performance
Load balancing can improve the
performance of a network or system
by distributing the workload across
multiple servers or resources.

This can prevent any single


resource from becoming
overworked, which can lead to
slowdowns or even system crashes.

02. Increased Availability


Load balancing can also increase the
availability of a network or system by
ensuring that if one resource fails, the
workload can be automatically redirected
to another resource. This can prevent
system downtime and ensure that users
can continue to access the network or
system.

03. Scalability
Load balancing can also make it easier to
scale a network or system as more
resources are added. This can make it
easier to add more servers or resources
as the workload increases, without having
to manually configure each new resource.

Load Balancing
Techniques
Here are 23 load balancing techniques explained:

01. Round Robin


In this technique, requests are sent to the
next available server in a list. This is a
simple and effective technique for evenly
distributing requests across multiple
servers.

02. Least Connections


In this technique, requests are sent to the
server with the least number of active
connections. This technique can be useful
in situations where some servers are
more powerful than others and can handle
more connections.

03.IP Hash
In this technique, the IP address of the
client is used to determine which server
to send the request to. This technique can
be useful in situations where the client
needs to maintain a persistent connection
to the same server.

04. Weighted Round Robin


In this technique, each server is assigned
a weight, and requests are sent to the
next available server based on their
weight. This technique can be useful in
situations where some servers are more
powerful than others and can handle more
connections.

05.DNS Load Balancing


In this technique, the Domain Name
System (DNS) is used to distribute
requests across multiple servers. This
technique can be useful in situations
where the client is not aware of the
specific server to connect to.

06. Layer 7 Load Balancing


This technique uses the application layer
(layer 7 in the OSI model) to distribute
requests based on the content of the
request. This can be useful in situations
where requests need to be directed to
specific servers based on the type of
request or the client making the request.

07.Content-Based Routing
This technique uses the content of the
request to determine which server
should handle the request. This can be
useful in situations where requests
need to be directed to specific servers
based on the type of request or the
client making the request.

08. Client IP Hash


This technique uses the IP address of the
client to determine which server should
handle the request. This can be useful in
situations where the client needs to
maintain a persistent connection to the
same server.

09.Source IP Hash
Same as IP Hash but uses source IP
address instead of client IP address.

10.Geolocation-Based Load
Balancing
This technique uses the location of the
client to determine which server should
handle the request. This can be useful in
situations where requests need to be
directed to specific servers based on the
location of the client.

11. Random
Requests are sent to a randomly
chosen server.

12. Hybrid Load Balancing


This technique uses a combination of
different load balancing techniques to
distribute requests. This can be useful
in situations where different types of
requests need to be handled by
different servers.

13.Weighted Least Connections


Similar to Least Connections, but servers
are assigned weights.

14. Geographic
Requests are sent to the server that is
geographically closest to the client.

15. Session Persistence


Requests from a specific client are
always sent to the same server.

16. URL-based
Requests are directed to a specific
server based on the requested URL.

17. DNS-based
Requests are directed to a specific
server based on the DNS lookup of
the client.

18. SSL session-id-based


Requests are directed to a specific
server based on the SSL session
id.

19. Content-based
Requests are directed to a
specific server based on the
content of the request.

20. Cache-based
Requests are directed to a server
with a cached copy of the
requested resource.

21. Scheduling-based
Requests are directed to servers
based on a predefined schedule.

22. Predictive-based
Requests are directed to servers
based on predicted future load.

23. AI-based
Requests are directed to servers
using artificial intelligence
algorithms.
