Load-Balancing Algorithms (Predictor)

Predictors are load-balancing algorithms that enable ACE to select the best server to fulfill a client request. You attach a load-balancing algorithm (predictor) to the server farm in ACE configuration. If you don’t select a load-balancing algorithm, the default predictor is used.

ACE uses weighted round-robin as the default predictor. However, because by default the weight value for all the servers is the same, the default behavior is round-robin. The load-balancing algorithms supported by ACE appear in Table 19-5.
