A balancing algorithm consists of predefined rules with the logic that a load balancer uses to distribute network traffic between servers. - **Round Robin**: Targets are served alternately according to their weighting. - **Least Connection**: The target with the least active connection is served. - **Random**: The targets are served based on a consistent pseudorandom algorithm. - **Source IP**: It is ensured that the same client IP address reaches the same target. |             |
