To ensure the high availability of the distributed <a class=\"ack-link-color\" href=\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/application\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">application<\/a> and to facilitate server <a class=\"ack-link-color\" href=\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/articles\/load-balancing-introduction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">load management<\/a>, it rotates and distributes requests to backends depending on predefined server weights.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Round-Robin.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-41245\" title=\"Round Robin Routing\" src=\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Round-Robin-235x300.jpg\" alt=\"Round Robin Routing\" width=\"380\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Round-Robin-235x300.jpg 235w, https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Round-Robin-801x1024.jpg 801w, https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Round-Robin-768x981.jpg 768w, https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Round-Robin.jpg 1174w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The priority level of each backend is determined by allocating a certain percentage of all incoming requests to it. As an illustration:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ack-ul\">\n<li>Each request will alternate between servers if weights are identical (i.e., 50% on both backends), guaranteeing equitable resource use and traffic distribution.<\/li>\n<li>You can regulate the frequency of requests to each backend if the ratio is 70% to 30%. This means that out of every 10 consecutive requests, 7 will go to the first environment and 3 to the second.<\/li>\n<li>When a server&#8217;s ratio is set to 100%, only that backend will handle all incoming requests. This can be helpful for non-stop processes like hardware migration or undetectable application updates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"cta-btn-top-space\"><\/div>\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"38668\" class=\"elementor elementor-38668\" data-elementor-settings=\"{&quot;ha_cmc_init_switcher&quot;:&quot;no&quot;}\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t        <section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-882321f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default ct-header-fixed-none ct-row-max-none\" data-id=\"882321f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n            \n                        <div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default \">\n                    <div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7cc79cc\" data-id=\"7cc79cc\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n        <div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n                    \n        \t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e31b40f elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"e31b40f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n        \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<div class=\"cta-btn-mob-space\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","class_list":["post-41226","faq","type-faq","status-publish","hentry","faq_topics-application-settings","faq_topics-kb","faq_topics-product-documentation","faq_topics-round-robin","faq_topics-routing-methods","faq_topics-traffic-distributor"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v20.10 (Yoast SEO v24.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Round Robin Routing Explained | AccuWeb.Cloud Guide<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Learn how Round Robin Traffic Distributor optimizes server load management.
