Hello,
The load balancing algorithm assigns new connections and requests to the backends as equally as possible, while maintaining performance as more backends are introduced.
In nearly all cases, the load balancing algorithm provides better performance and distribution than traditional round robin and least connections options.
Hope that this helps.
Best,
Bobby
