Mark is responsible for managing his company’s load balancer and wants to use a load-balancing scheduling technique that will take into account the current server load and active sessions. Which of the following techniques should he choose?

Load balancing algorithms vary in their approach. The least connection-based method aims to distribute requests evenly across servers by sending each request to the server with the fewest active sessions at the time.
Round robin, on the other hand, simply sends requests to each server in a predetermined order. Weighted time takes a more dynamic approach by using health checks to determine which server is currently responding the quickest, and routing traffic to that server. Lastly, source IP hashing uses a unique hash key generated from the source and destination IP addresses to track sessions, ensuring that interrupted sessions can be seamlessly reassigned to the same server, thus allowing the sessions to continue uninterrupted.
