terhelésosztást

Terhelésosztás, also known as load balancing, is a technique used in computer networking and distributed systems to distribute workload across multiple servers or resources. The primary goal of terhelésosztás is to optimize resource utilization, maximize throughput, minimize response time, and avoid overloading any single resource. By distributing tasks or requests evenly, it ensures that no single server becomes a bottleneck, leading to improved performance and reliability of the overall system.

There are several methods for implementing terhelésosztás. Common approaches include round-robin, where requests are distributed sequentially to each server; least connections, where requests are sent to the server with the fewest active connections; and weighted methods, where servers are assigned different weights based on their capacity, allowing more powerful servers to handle a larger share of the load.

Terhelésosztás can be implemented at various levels, such as application level, network level (using hardware load balancers), or within the operating system. It is a crucial component for scalable and highly available applications, ensuring that services can handle fluctuating traffic demands and maintain consistent performance for users. Applications that frequently benefit from terhelésosztás include web servers, databases, and other network services that experience significant and variable traffic.
