CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 340

A security administrator installed a new web server. The administrator did this to increase the capacity for an application due to resource exhaustion on another server. Which of the following algorithms should the administrator use to split the number of the connections on each server in half?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The Round-robin algorithm is ideal for evenly distributing connections among servers since it assigns requests in a sequential manner. The other options, such as Weighted response and Weighted least connection, prioritize certain servers based on predetermined weights, and Least connection directs traffic to the server with the fewest connections, none of which guarantee an even split.
