In fact for many (if not most) monitoring and management situations, moving averages are more useful than infinitely historical data. If load patterns may change over time, it is often reasonable (or necessary) that recenttraffic has significantly more weight than past traffic.
This implies some knowledge of what has gone before and the timeframe associated with that. Not only that, but when you start bothering about short-term reactions, you can easily screw up the long-term results. Instant-by-instant LB is certainly a "viable" concept, but longer-termed averaging is a more sustainable solution, imo. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
