Load Balancing

Question

Scenario: A Citrix Administrator has configured an HTTP load-balancing virtual server with Least Response Time as the load-balancing algorithm. The administrator notices that requests to the virtual server appear to be using the Round Robin load-balancing algorithm. What could be causing the virtual server to use the Round Robin load-balancing algorithm?

Options

  • AThe services that are bound to the HTTP virtual server are using the PING monitor.
  • BThe virtual server is in startup round robin mode.
  • CLeast Response Time CANNOT be used as a load-balancing algorithm on an HTTP virtual
  • DThe Citrix ADC configuration has NOT been saved yet.

Explanation

https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX108886 The virtual server on a NetScaler appliance gets into a Slow Start mode or a Startup Round Robin mode whenever a new service is enabled or a new service is added to the farm. The load balancing algorithm falls back to Round Robin method regardless of the configured algorithm on the virtual server. Least Connections is the default load balancing method. When configured, the appliance selects the service that has the least number of connections. For example, if the Least Connections method is in use and a new server is added to the server farm, the load balancing algorithm can cause the new server to be overloaded with requests, because it has fewer existing connections than other servers in the farm. To avoid overloading of servers, the appliance performs Slow Start. During this phase, the appliance distributes the requests by the Round Robin method regardless of the actual method configured. The Slow Start mode functionality is available only for virtual servers that use one of the following load balancing methods: Least Connections Least Response Time
