  2. Application-level gateway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application-level_gateway

    The Application Layer Gateway service in Microsoft Windows provides support for third-party plugins that allow network protocols to pass through the Windows Firewall and work behind it and Internet Connection Sharing. [citation needed] ALG plugins can open ports and change data that is embedded in packets, such as ports and IP addresses.

  3. Application Request Routing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_Request_Routing

    Application Request Routing (ARR) is an extension to Internet Information Server (IIS), which enables an IIS server to function as a load balancer. With ARR, an IIS server can be configured to route incoming requests to one of multiple web servers using one of several routing algorithms.

  4. Load balancing (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_balancing_(computing)

    Load balancing can optimize response time and avoid unevenly overloading some compute nodes while other compute nodes are left idle. Load balancing is the subject of research in the field of parallel computers. Two main approaches exist: static algorithms, which do not take into account the state of the different machines, and dynamic ...

  5. Cloud load balancing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_load_balancing

    Cloud load balancing is the process of distributing workloads across multiple computing resources. Cloud load balancing reduces costs associated with document management systems and maximizes availability of resources. It is a type of load balancing and not to be confused with Domain Name System (DNS) load balancing.

  6. Network load balancing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Load_Balancing

    Network load balancing is the ability to balance traffic across two or more WAN links without using complex routing protocols like BGP.. This capability balances network sessions like Web, email, etc. over multiple connections in order to spread out the amount of bandwidth used by each LAN user, thus increasing the total amount of bandwidth available.

  7. Virtual IP address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_IP_address

    VIP addresses are also used for connection redundancy by providing alternative fail-over options for one machine. For this to work, the host has to run an interior gateway protocol like Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), and appear as a router to the rest of the network. It advertises virtual links connected via itself to all of its actual ...

  8. Network Load Balancing Services - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Network_Load_Balancing_Services

    Network Load Balancing Services (NLBS) is a Microsoft implementation of clustering and load balancing that is intended to provide high availability and high reliability, as well as high scalability. NLBS is intended for applications with relatively small data sets that rarely change (one example would be web pages), and do not have long-running ...

  9. Round-robin DNS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-robin_DNS

    Round-robin DNS is a technique of load distribution, load balancing, or fault-tolerance provisioning multiple, redundant Internet Protocol service hosts, e.g., Web server, FTP servers, by managing the Domain Name System's (DNS) responses to address requests from client computers according to an appropriate statistical model.
