What is Load Balancing
1.
A fundamental mechanism for implementing traffic engineering. It concerns the number of overutilized links, which will have low QoS, and underutilized links, which represent a waste to be reduced. It can be achieved by a multicommodity network flow formulation which leads to the traffic being shared over multiple routes between the ingress node and the egress nodes in order to avoid link saturation and hence the possibility of congestion.

2.
Load balancing
plays a vital role for prolonging the network lifetime. Uniform distribution of
load
among the CHs is important as to avoid hotspot problem. Uniform
load
distribution is assured in unequal clustering technique where, CHs consume approximately same amount of energy.

3.
Is a computer methodology to distribute work
load
across multiple computers to achieve optimal resource utilization, maximize throughput, minimize response time, and avoid over
load
.
Load balancing
divides the amount of work that a computer has to do between two or more computers so that more work gets done in the same amount of time and, in general, all users get served faster.

Load balancing
is an approach which tries to balance the total system
load
by transparently transferring the work
load
from highly
load
ed nodes to lightly
load
ed nodes in an attempt to ensure good overall performance of the system. Basic goal of
load balancing
is to maximize system throughput.
Load balancing
helps to achieve a high user satisfaction and resource utilization ratio by ensuring an efficient and fair allocation of every computing resource. Proper
load balancing
helps in minimizing resource consumption, enabling scalability, avoid over provisioning etc.
Load balancing
algorithms are basically classified into two categories such as static and dynamic algorithms where dynamic algorithms are again subdivided into centralized and distributed algorithm.

7.
A technique to spread work between two or more computers, network links, CPUs, hard drives, or other resources in order to get optimal resource utilization, maximize throughput, and minimize response time.

8.
Load balancing
is the technique used to spread work
load
or resource consumption between many resource providers in order to improve resource utilization and/or performance.
Learn more in: Mobility-Aware Grid Computing
9.
Performance improvement technique based on the distribution of processing and/or communications tasks among a number of processing resources in a computer network so that no single resource becomes overwhelmed. Heavily
load
ed Web infrastructures typically employ two or more servers in a
load balancing
scheme so that no performance degradation occurs even though it may be difficult to predict the number of request that can be issued in any moment.
Learn more in: Performance Analysis and Models of Web Traffic
10.
Number of requests served by a node. The number of requests received by a node cannot be predicted at any point of time.
Load balancing
is very crucial in Vehicular Ad hoc Networks.

11.
A computer networking method for distributing work
load
s across multiple computing resources.
Load balancing
aims to optimize resource use, maximize throughput, minimize response time, and avoid over
load
of any one of the resources.
