Each server is treated with equal priority.
Each server is given priority based on its ability to
deliver specific applications.
Traffic is randomly distributed to a series of

Algorithm weights are assigned to servers based
on server capacity limitations.
When new traffic is sent to the servers, an
algorithm determines which server has the least
number of connections.
