Traffic Distribution Issues Quiz

What you'll be asked

1. Which term describes the time delay between a user's request and the server's response in a network?
2. A load balancer is configured with a 'Round Robin' algorithm. What happens when a new request arrives?
3. You notice that one server in your load-balanced pool is receiving significantly more traffic than the others, despite the load balancer using a 'Least Connections' algorithm. What is the most likely cause?
4. What is the primary risk of using 'Sticky Sessions' (Session Affinity) in a load-balanced environment?
5. Under high load, you observe that your latency increases exponentially only when the load balancer performs 'Layer 7' inspection compared to 'Layer 4' routing. Why does this happen?
