Modifying
Real

Server

Weight

Value
You
can

modify

t

he

weight

value

assigned

to

a

re

al

server

that

defines

the

connection

capacity

of


the
server
in

relation

to

the

other

real

servers.

The

ACE

uses

the

weight

value

that

you

specify

for

a

server
in
the

weighted

round-robin

and

least-connections

load-balancing

predictors.

Servers

with

a

hi

gher
configured
weight

value

have

a

higher

priority

with

respect

to

connections

than

servers

with

a

lower
weight.
For

example,

a

server

with

a

weight

of

5

would

receive

five

connections

for

every

one

connection
for
a

server

with

a

weight

of

1.

ANM,

Value

Using
