A Load Balancer such as the Citrix NetScaler has monitors built in, to automatically redirect Client requests to the back-end servers that are up and running. But, what happens if the front-end is down? Load Balancing can fail when a Virtual Server or Vserver fails, or when the VIP is unable to handle excessive traffic. Protecting the LB setup against failure helps ensure ...

Configuring a backup persistence methodThe NetScaler Load Balancer uses the backup persistence option when the primary persistence fails. For example, the primary persistence type is set to Cookie Insert, and backup persistence is set to Source IP. When the client browsers do not support cookies, Source IP persistence is used. To set the backup persistence option to Source IP, you must set the primary ...

Configuring Persistence for RTSPThe Citrix NetScaler initially selects a server by using a load balancing method. With persistence configured, enabling the NetScaler to send any subsequent client requests to the selected server, the server can access state information for that client. If persistence is configured, it overrides the load balancing methods once the server has been selected. If the configured persistence applies to a ...

Load Balancing – Persistence

thumb-LB_Persistence_100831.jpg

Load balancing with persistence allows you to distribute client requests across multiple servers and optimize resource utilization. Load balancers improve server fault tolerance and end-user response time. In a scenario with a limited number of servers providing service to a large number of clients, a server can become overloaded and degrade server performance. Load balancing is used to prevent bottlenecks by forwarding the client ...

Configuring, Verifying and Monitoring Persistence on NetScaler

What is persistence in Server Load Balancing?Before understanding what persistence is, let us get an overview of Server Load balancing (SLB). The SLB feature selects a server (service to be precise) from a set of configured servers to serve a client request based on a load balancing algorithm configured by an administrator.In Figure 1, user B's first request can be served by one of the ...
