what is round robin algorithm in deep

Hi teepan123,

 

if you are looking for a even load distribution you may want to follow the described approach in this thread:

In this case a table counter is increased with each incoming request and based on a modulus the new connection will be forwarded to the next poolmember in row.

 

In case you would like to follow this method, I´m happy to modify it accordingly.

 

As Nitass already wrote, in real life and on a highly frequented systems it finally does not really matter to have an exact 1:1 distribution. In case the clients are using random source ports you will observe an even distribution of current connections to the available pool members. That´s statistics. :)

 

Thanks, Stephan
