Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Load balancing is the technique of distributing network traffic across multiple interfaces or paths to optimize resource utilization, maximize throughput, minimize response time, and avoid overload or downtime. Failover refers to the process of automatically switching from a failed or inactive interface to an available or functional one. Traffic spreading and packet prioritizing are not commonly used terms in network load balancing.
