What is Loadbalance:
Load balancing is a computer networking methodology to distribute workload across multiple computers or a computer cluster, network links, central processing units, disk drives, or other resources, to achieve optimal resource utilization, maximize throughput, minimize response time, and avoid overload. Using multiple components with load balancing, instead of a single component, may increase reliability through redundancy. The load balancing service is usually provided by dedicated software or hardware, such as a multilayer switch or a Domain Name System server.
In this diagram we have the Schoo Network and the ADSL Network to count on for the loadbalance.
So that if you cut one wire / cable the other router will take over. Like nothing was happent.
For the loadbalance to this project we did use the Asus router in the class and the School network.
What did we do :
We change the setup inside the Asus Router to work like a middleman between the School Network and our servers.
So if the school network goes down we can change our network to use the ADSL insted.
