Table 3 Real service group configuration items

Item Descri

tion

Real Service Group Name

Set a real service group name, which uniquely identifies a real service

group.

Scheduler

Select an algorithm that a real service group uses to distribute services

and traffic:

• Round Robin: Assigns new connections to each real service in turn.

• Weighted Round Robin: Assigns new connections to real services

based on the weights of real services; a higher weight indicates

more new connections will be assigned.

• Least Connections: New connections are always assigned to the

real service with the fewest number of active connections.

• Weighted Least Connections: New connections are always

assigned to the real service with the fewest number of weighted

active connections (the number of active connections/weight).

• Random: Assigns new connections to real services randomly.

• Weighted Random: Assigns new connections randomly to real

services based on their weights; a higher weight indicates more

new connections will be assigned.

• Source Address Hashing: Assigns a new connection to a specific

real service based on the source address of the connection. This

algorithm ensures that new connections with the same source

address can be assigned to the same real service.

• Source Address Port Hashing: Assigns a new connection to a

specific real service based on the source address and port of the

connection. This algorithm ensures that new connections with the

same source address and port can be assigned to the same real

service.

• Destination Address Hashing: Assigns a new connection to a

specific real service based on the destination address of the

connection.

IMPORTANT:

Destination address hashing is applicable to firewall load balancing

mode and other algorithms are applicable to server load balancing.
