CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 73

Which of the following load-balancing methods would be BEST described as each connection selecting the next path?

Answer options

• A. Least connection
• B. Source hashed
• C. Most recently used
• D. Round robin

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Round robin, as it distributes connections evenly by selecting the next server in line for each new request. The other methods, such as Least connection and Most recently used, focus on different criteria like server load or recency of use, and Source hashed determines paths based on the source address, rather than sequentially cycling through available options.
