Re: Load balancing and load determination

The only reason why I brought up the concept of a benchmark is because it is dead easy to provide the source for said benchmark and have backend servers simply time how long it takes to run it each status update. Each backend would simply then send the "time taken" and that would provide some

Re: Load balancing and load determination

HAProxy has a similar feature called agent-check ( https://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/1.8/configuration.html#5.2-agent-check) although in their case, the backend server specifies it's own weight. Either way - whether the frontend or backend determines the weight - it would be useful. - Y
