Generation

A load balancer is a system that distributes incoming network traffic across multiple servers to optimize resource utilization, maximize throughput, and prevent any single server from becoming overwhelmed. It acts as a reverse proxy, sitting between clients and servers to ensure requests are handled efficiently and reliably. A key formula for load distribution is: **Server Load = (Current Connections / Max Connections) × 100%**, which helps determine which server should receive the next request. Load balancers can use various algorithms like round-robin, least connections, or weighted distribution to make routing decisions.
