This is also a normalized value 62 representing their "share" of the amount of work to be done, 63 but instead of simply counting the number of requests, we take 64 into account the amount of traffic this worker has either seen 65 or produced.</p> 66 67 <p>If a balancer is configured as follows:</p> 68 69 <table><tr><th>worker</th> 70 <th class="data">a</th> 71 <th class="data">b</th> 72 <th class="data">c</th></tr> 73<tr><th>lbfactor</th> 74 <td class="data">1</td> 75 <td class="data">2</td> 76 <td class="data">1</td></tr> 77</table> 78 79 <p>Then we mean that we want <var>b</var> to process twice the 80 amount of bytes than <var>a</var> or <var>c</var> should. It does 81 not necessarily mean that <var>b</var> would handle twice as 82 many requests, but it would process twice the I/O. Thus, the 83 size of the request and response are applied to the weighting 84 and selection algorithm.</p> 85 86 <p>Note: input and output bytes are weighted the same.</p> 87 88</div> 89</div> 90<div class="bottomlang"> 91<p><span>Available Languages: </span><a href="/en/mod/mod_lbmethod_bytraffic.html" title="English"> en </a> | 92<a href="/fr/mod/mod_lbmethod_bytraffic.html" hreflang="fr" rel="alternate" title="Fran�ais"> fr </a></p> 93</div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img src="/images/up.gif" alt="top" /></a></div><div class="section"><h2><a id="comments_section" name="comments_section">Comments</a></h2><div class="warning"><strong>Notice:</strong><br />This is not a Q&A section.
