RE: How to define Lbfactor in case of lbmethod = byrequests & lbmethod = bytraffic

[Tushar Chavan <tushar.chavan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
 
But if there are two machines A & B. How Apache will come to know which one is stronger?
Do we need to define it somewhere?
 
Best Regards,
Tushar

i don't think lbfactor is related to the method but more to the servers hardware:

lbfactor - weighed-round-robin load balancing where high lbfactor means stronger machine (that is going to handle more requests)

so if A and B are identical in terms of hardware you use same lbfactor

Hi  Experts,

We are setting up load balacing with Apache

Apache will pass request to servers A & B.

Now if I choose lbmethod=byrequest or bytraffic, how I will set lbfactor?

How Apache server will come to know how much request to pass to server A & server B?
