Question

An architect is responsible for the design of a greenfield vSphere-based solution for hosting a new web-based application. The customer has provided the following high-level information:

  • The solution will host a highly transactional web application that is spread across multiple

workloads within a vSphere cluster.

  • The workloads should be distributed evenly across the hosts to maximize the performance and

availability of the web application.

  • The architect has made various design decisions, including:
  • The solution will deploy vSphere distributed switches for all virtual networking.

Which network load balancing method should the architect document in the physical design to meet the requirements?

Options

  • ARoute Based on IP Hash
  • BRoute Based on Physical NIC Load
  • CRoute Based on Originating Virtual Port
  • DRoute Based on Source MAC Hash

Explanation

Route Based on IP Hash is the most suitable network load balancing method when the goal is to evenly distribute network traffic across multiple physical NICs in a way that maximizes the performance and availability of the application. This method creates a hash based on the source and destination IP addresses (and possibly port numbers) of each network packet. As a result, it ensures that network traffic is evenly distributed across multiple physical NICs, improving both performance and fault tolerance. In the case of a highly transactional web application, distributing traffic efficiently can help reduce network congestion and increase throughput.
