What is load balancer passthrough?
SSL passthrough is the action of passing data through a load balancer to a server without decrypting it. Usually, the decryption or SSL termination happens at the load balancer and data is passed along to a web server as plain HTTP. But SSL passthrough keeps the data encrypted as it travels through the load balancer.
What Cisco switch feature or protocol uses load balancing?
GTP-U TEID-Based ECMP Load-Balancing Algorithm for Cisco IOS XE Software. GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP) is mainly used to deliver mobile data on wireless networks via the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers as the core router.
What is load balancer Cisco?
Load balancing is a standard functionality of the Cisco IOS® router software, and is available across all router platforms. It allows a router to use multiple paths to a destination when forwarding packets.
Is Load Balancer a software or hardware?
Load balancers, once almost exclusive to the realm of hardware devices, can now be implemented effectively in software on another server. The line between hardware and software load balancers is fading fast.
How does load balancing work on a Cisco router?
Load balancing is a standard functionality of the Cisco IOS® router software, and is available across all router platforms. It is inherent to the forwarding process in the router and is automatically activated if the routing table has multiple paths to a destination.
How does a per destination load balancing work?
Per-destination load balancing means the router distributes the packets based on the destination address. Given two paths to the same network, all packets for destination1 on that network go over the first path, all packets for destination2 on that network go over the second path, and so on.
What kind of routing protocol does load balancing use?
It is based on standard routing protocols, such as Routing Information Protocol (RIP), RIPv2, Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), and Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP), or derived from statically configured routes and packet forwarding mechanisms.
How does load balancing work in process switching?
For process-switching—load balancing is on a per-packet basis and the asterisk (*) points to the interface over which the next packet is sent. For fast-switching—load balancing is on a per-destination basis and the asterisk (*) points to the interface over which the next destination-based flow is sent.
