Least connections (lc) method " The REAL server with the lowest number of concurrent connections will receive the first connection. Round ROBIN (rr) method " The real server with the lowest entry index will get the first connection. SHORTEST response (sr) " The loadbalancer or appliance will establish connections with each server and calculate the round trip time. The client connection will go to the real server with the lowest response time.
