NimbostratusIssue with Load balancing methods
Hi Everyone,
I am facing problem with load balancing in our environment, we have four servers deployed for a app all the servers are having the same configurations and round robin load balancing is used to distribute the load but at times what happens is load is only going to one off the server due to the CPU of servers is going high can some one help out in this case, what kind of LB we should use to avoid the problem.

How much of difference in stats your seeing between all 4 members.

Well round-robin passes each new connection request to the next server in line, eventually distributing connections evenly across the array of machines being load balanced. I dont think it would check the performance metrics of servers.

Hi Manendar,
Round Robin method is not a Dynamic load balancing method. It only sends new received connection to next pool member available in the pool. Sometimes you can have little differences uneven number of connections due to the number of tmm. But not as much as you described.
You can check reasons of uneven conections in this doc.

You can use Dynamic ratio load balancing method check
