How do networks manage load balancing to distribute traffic evenly and prevent bottlenecks?
Networks manage load balancing by distributing incoming network traffic across multiple servers or network resources. This helps in preventing bottlenecks and ensures that no single server or resource is overwhelmed with traffic. Load balancing algorithms are used to determine how traffic should be distributed, considering factors like server capacity, current load, and network conditions. Various techniques such as round-robin, least connections, IP hash, and weighted round-robin are commonly employed to achieve efficient load balancing in network environments.
