Load balancers use different strategies to distribute traffic. Round Robin cycles through servers sequentially. Least Connections targets the server with the lowest active load. Weighted Random distributes traffic based on server capacity, ensuring powerful nodes handle more requests.

A critical job of the load balancer is to monitor server health. If a node goes Offline (simulated by the power button), the balancer immediately stops routing traffic to it. This Failover mechanism ensures high availability and a seamless experience for end-users even when hardware fails.
