ratio stats
Static load balancing method. You are defining how the connection is distributed among the members.

Dynamic ratio

This is a dynamic load balancing method, however the member or node need to have some monitoring agents installed to report the performance over time. Dynamic ratio uses the performance report to determine the ratio of each member.

Least sessions

Connection is passed to the member that has the least persistence sessions. The virtual server needs to enable persistence such as source address affinity to track the persistence sessions of each clients.

Snap11

Snap12
dvwa1 has a persistence session with lubuntu-1 and dvwa2 has a persisntence session with lubuntu-2
