Failover Routing for Traffic Distributor<\/h2>\n

By keeping a working backup environment copy, failover is a routing technique intended to improve project security. You have two servers: a backup and a primary. The primary backend receives all requests at first, and the backup backend is only used if the first backend is unavailable.<\/p>\n

\"Failover<\/a><\/p>\n

You can only specify which server is the primary and which is the backup with this kind of distribution since you can only set up a traffic ratio distribution of 100 to 0. As a result, each incoming request is sent to a single server at a time\u2014either the primary server or, if it is down, the backup server. You can readily mitigate problems that are dependent on hardware by placing your backends in various environment areas.<\/p>\n

In actuality, requests from your clients are routed to the operational server automatically. Consequently, users won’t see any disruptions in the functionality of the program even in the case of a failure.<\/p>\n
