Load balancing across a number of endpoints
When you need the ability to distribute a sequence of messages between a predefined set of endpoints, the Load Balancer EIP is a good choice. This is useful for tasks such as web service load balancing at the application level, when a hardware load balancer is not available for use. This EIP allows you to plug in a number of strategies to define how the messages should be distributed amongst the endpoints.
