How Does Load Balancing Works?
The load balancing hardware is some place called ‘load dispatcher’ / ‘network dispatcher’ or the ‘load balancer’. The load balancing mechanism that is employed for distributing service requests (HTTP, SSL, Mysql etc) is known as IP Spraying. The IP sprayer picks up each services request, and redirects the request to the appropriate server in the cluster based on the rules, providing scalability, load balancing and fail-over requirements. When a server group has multiple web servers and if their is high HTTP traffic, a load balacning solution can evenly distributed the request to multiple servers, while these servers appear as one web server to the web client.
