--> F5 Load Balancing Methods are mainly divided into two types
i) Static Load Balancing Methods
ii) Dynamic Load Balancing Methods
i) Static Load Balancing Methods
--> Before processing client requests, the F5 Load balancer does not check any parameters of the server.
--> There are two static load balancing methods available.
1.Round robin
--> This is the default load-balancing method on F5 LTM,
--> Client requests are distributed in a round-robin fashion.
---> F5 LTM gets a new request and sends it to the first server in the pool.
---> The next request is sent to the next server which is available in the pool and this action repeats.
---> This method is useful if all the servers are having the same amount of memory, CPU and other parameters.
2) Ratio
--> Client requests are distributed based on the ratio value.
--> We can do Ratio Load balancing by Node as well as by Member.
--> For example if we set the ratio for three servers like in 1:2:3 ratio, then F5 LTM gets a new request and sends it to the first server in the pool.
--> Second request goes to the second server, the Third request to goes to the Third Server.
--> Now the Fourth request goes to Second Server and five, six client request goes to the Third Server and the action repeats.
--> If the Ratio value is set to the default value(1) then it will also behave like round-robin algorithm.
--> This method is useful if all the servers are not having the same amount of memory, CPU and other parameters.
