ConnectControl Load Balance
Load Balance
With ConnectControl,
a single application server is replaced with a logical
pool of servers that share a common IP address.
Connection requests to the pool are balanced among
multiple servers using one of the following algorithms:
Server Load
-
Each incoming connection request is
directed to the server experiencing the lightest load.
Load is measured via a load measuring agent that is
installed on each server and automatically reports the
current system load to the ConnectControl module.
The ConnectControl
load measuring agent is lightweight and does not add
additional latency or system overhead to the server.
ConnectControl also includes a load measuring
application programming interface (API) for
organizations wishing to write their own agents. The
load measuring API uses the UDP transport protocol and
supports communication between the load measuring agent
and the ConnectControl module.
Domain Name
-
Directs connection requests to the
closest server based on domain name. This allows
organizations to disperse their servers throughout their
enterprise network and utilize load balancing to
optimize response times.
Round Trip Delay
-
Directs connection requests to the
server with the shortest round trip delay, ensuring that
incoming requests are handled by the server with the
fastest response time.
Round Robin
-
Directs connection requests to the
next server in the list. ConnectControl continuously
checks the availability of each server. If a server
fails or is unreachable, ConnectControl will cease
directing connections to that server until it is
available.
Random
-
Directs connection requests to
servers on a random basis.
