You can specify one of these algorithms as the basis for choosing a real server for each new connection
request that arrives at the virtual server.
request that arrives at the virtual server.
Weighted Round Robin
The weighted round robin algorithm specifies that the real server used for a new connection to the virtual
server is chosen from the server farm in a circular fashion. Each real server is assigned a weight, n, that
represents its capacity to handle connections, as compared to the other real servers associated with the
virtual server. That is, new connections are assigned to a given real server n times before the next real
server in the server farm is chosen.
