I have a question and if you can answer it would be really appreciated. All these algorithms distribute load based on requests for a page of file. But the time it will take for the server to complete these requests will not be the same. For example one server is completing a request for a 20MB file which can take much longer compared to a 200KB file. So servicing the 20MB file request will take a much longer processing time and will cause a build up of subsequent requests. Can any of the algorithms do balancing based on packet size as well and not just by requests? Also what happens with uneven packet sizes?Hiren Khatrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673596237146266049noreply@blogger.com
