| | Define load balancing - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: load balance, network load balancing |
 | | Load balancing is dividing the amount of work that a computer has to do between two or more computers so that more work gets done in the same amount of time and, in general, all users get served faster. | | | Load balancing can be implemented with hardware, software, or a combination of both. | | | Typically, load balancing is the main reason for computer server clustering. |

| | ONJava.com -- Clustering and Load Balancing in Tomcat 5, Part 1 |
| | Load balancing (also known as high availability switch over) is a mechanism where the server load is distributed to different nodes within the server cluster, based on a load balancing policy. | | | There are many different algorithms to define the load distribution policy, ranging from a simple round robin algorithm to more sophisticated algorithms used to perform the load balancing. | | | For example, the weight-based algorithm has a longer computational time than the other algorithms. |

| | Load Balancing |
| | One can see that some configurations will yield better load balancing than others but this is a limitation of the particular space subdivision one chooses to implement, the more complex the subdivision one allows, the better load balancing but the harder it is to implement a suitable load balancing scheme and the associated ray caster. | | | The problem of computing the optimal (as defined by our heuristic choice) load balance partition indices can be solved naively as follows. | | | This section explains our new approach to load balancing, which is based on the PARC (polygon assisted ray casting) algorithm [2]. |

| | Load balancer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Load balancing (performed by a load balancer) is a type of service performed by a computer that assigns work loads to a set of networked computer servers in such a manner that the computing resources are used in an optimal manner. | | | It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into Load balancing (computing). | | | In Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) the load balancer distributes load to a geographically distributed set of server farms based on health, server loadload or proximity. |

| | If you are configuring a cluster or host by running Network Load Balancing Manager from a computer that is not part of the cluster, you do not have to be a member of the Administrators group on that computer. | | | If you are working from a computer that has a single network adaptor that is bound to Network Load Balancing in Unicast mode, you cannot use Network Load Balancing Manager on this computer to configure and manage other hosts because a single network adapter in Unicast mode cannot have intra-host communication. |

| | Cisco - How Does Load Balancing Work? |
| | Per-destination load balancing means the router distributes the packets based on the destination address. | | | In Cisco IOS software, except the release 11.1CC, per packet load balancing does disable the forwarding acceleration by a route cache, because the route cache information includes the outgoing interface. | | | The way in which CEF works is that CEF does the switching of the packet based on the routing table which is being populated by the routing protocols such as EIGRP. |
