Load Balancing over TCP/IP Protocols

Load Balancing over TCP/IP protocols is a key feature for IBM Communications Server for Windows® 5.1. This feature dynamically balances dependent LU2 (host-to-workstation) sessions. For LU2 sessions over TCP/IP connections, the load is distributed across servers within a named LU2 pool and a named scope. That is the server with the least overall load within the named scope supporting the named LU2 pool will satisfy a given LU2 connection request.

Note:
  1. IBMSLP.DLL should be available on the client workstation system directory. Refer to your Server documentation for information about where to obtain this dynamic load library file.
  2. For true load balancing use a wild card ('*') Server Name and Service Name, and use the pooled LU category with a LU-Pool Name.
