Link Load Balancing - Take a Load Off AnniePosted by Nick Niesen on October 26th, 2010 Link Load Balancing evens out critical resources on data networks with unpredictable requests issued to a server. For example, a web site with heavy traffic may employ two, three or more servers in a link load balancing program. The link load balancing routines enable a network to ?juggle? more traffic that otherwise possible If one server is overwhelmed, the link load balancing scheme forwards them to a different server with extra capacity. Another aspect to link load balancing concerns the communications channels themselves. In this case the ?juggling act? is meant to better distribute processing and communications demands more equitably across the network so that no single a computer is overwhelmed by the demand.
