C H A P T E R 6 SA8250 Scenarios

Scenario 4:

Content

Routing using

RICH only

Because the SA8250 can differentiate servers according to their

content, it can apportion requests based on the type of content

requested. For example, an administrator might choose to run the

most processor-intensive processes (such as CGI scripts) on the most

powerful servers while placing the less processor-bound files on

slower servers. The SA8250 then sends requests for CGI scripts to

the faster servers, thus avoiding the slowdowns that would occur if

the slow servers were relied upon.

This diagram shows the network configuration for scenario 4.
