Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Platforms (DEVASC) — Question 128

What does a load balancer distribute in a network environment?

Answer options

• A. different TCP connections to the routers
• B. incoming traffic across multiple servers
• C. traffic in the network by leveraging the switch architecture
• D. outgoing connections to the network

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because a load balancer's primary function is to distribute incoming traffic efficiently across multiple servers to ensure no single server is overwhelmed. Options A, C, and D do not accurately describe the specific function of a load balancer, as they refer to different aspects of network traffic management.
