James Peach commented on TS-2726:
---------------------------------
The balancer plugin balances requests, not sessions or connections. It would be
interesting to have a policy that favors highest weight or lowest response
time. The latter might be preferable since it is a bit more auto-tuning, though
tracking the status is more complex.

> Project: Traffic Server
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Plugins
> Reporter: Thibault Marquand
> Priority: Minor
>
> Balancer plugin have two mains balancing policy : round-robin or by hash
> (key, source address or asked url). I was looking for an other one : a
> weighted policy like weight round-robin.
> The idea is quit simple : Each server can be assigned a weight, an integer
> value or what ever that indicates the processing capacity. Servers with
> higher weights receive new connections first than those with less weights,
> and servers with higher weights get more connections than those with less
> weights and servers with equal weights get equal connections.
> Thank you !
