internet load balancing for businesses

What Is Load Balancing?

Internet load balancing is a technique used to evenly distribute load across connections for optimal performance and maximum reliability, preventing any connection from being overwhelmed — this results in faster response time, improved scalability, and no downtime.

Failover efficiently redirects traffic to the available connections in case of failure, ensuring uninterrupted service and a positive user experience. Therefore, internet load balancing is essential for businesses to handle millions of requests and scale to meet growing demand.

The Extra Power of Load Balancing Solutions

✔ Leverage multi-WAN connections for maximum flexibility

✔ Aggregate multiple connections to boost bandwidth

✔ Prioritize critical applications for effective bandwidth management

✔ Easily add new internet links to meet your growing demand

Types of Load Balancing

  • WiFi Load Balancing

    WiFi load balancing spreads traffic across multiple access points (APs) in high-density environments, ensuring peak performance, improved user experience, and seamless scalability with zero downtime. WiFi balancer is essential for organizations that rely on wireless networks for daily operations

  • WAN Load Balancing

    WAN load balancing distributes traffic across multiple WAN connections, ensuring optimal performance, efficient bandwidth usage, and automatic failover. It prevents overloads and enhances reliability, making it essential for businesses that rely on consistent multi-WAN connectivity

Why We Use Internet Load Balancing?

  • Optimal Performance

    Prevent overloads and minimize latency, ensuring faster response times and optimal resource utilization

  • Automatic Failover

    In case of failure, the load balancer redirects traffic to available connections, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity

  • Scalability

    Scale your infrastructure with additional connections to handle growing traffic and maintain performance during peak times

How Load Balancing Routers Work?

Load balancing routers are network devices that use advanced algorithms to monitor traffic and intelligently distribute it across multiple available connections. Here’s a closer look at the main load balancing algorithms:

  • Round Robin Balancing: It evenly allocates traffic across all multi-WAN load balancing internet connections, ensuring an equal share of workload;

  • Least Connections: It directs traffic to the connection with the fewest active connections and performance issues to prevent overloads;

  • Weighted Distribution: It distributes traffic based on connection capacity — connections with higher capacity receive more traffic.

Peplink Load Balancers

Peplink Load Balancers are network devices used to optimize traffic flow across multi-WAN connections by using eight network load balancing algorithms — ensuring maximum reliability, efficient bandwidth use, and network stability. Meanwhile, automatic failover ensures uninterrupted connectivity during outages, reducing lags and downtime.

Peplink Load Balancers are perfect for businesses across various sectors seeking consistent high-speed internet and secure data transmission. Their scalability allows organizations to adapt to growing needs — simply add connections to increase speed and bandwidth. Contact us for more details!

  • "All around Europe, the Middle East, India, Singapore, US, and the service worked perfect (except for Amman in Jordan where there were some hickups).

    I used it constantly and the resulting cost for those three months was a fraction of what I would normally have to pay, while my T-Mobile roaming data bill remained at $0.00"

FAQs

Yes, Internet load balancing can greatly help to improve performance by evenly distributing traffic and requests, which also prevents servers from being overwhelmed and experiencing potential outages. Among other benefits, there is the ability to scale the pool to more effectively handle the load, traffic management to give preferences to a certain type of traffic based on specific criteria, etc.  
Internet load balancing itself doesn't directly increase internet speed, but it evenly distributes traffic across multiple servers, preventing servers from becoming overwhelmed, which, in turn, results in faster response times and improved user experience.
Load balancing requires such core components as a load balancer, servers, network switches, firewalls, and monitoring tools.
The load-balancing routers distribute incoming traffic based on such common load-balancing algorithms as round robin, which ensures all servers get an equal share of work; least connections, which directs traffic to the servers with the fewest active connections; weighted distribution, which distributes traffic based on the assigned weights of each server.
In order to select the best-fitted load-balancing algorithm, analyze your traffic, make sure the algorithm effectively monitors the health of servers, take into account your scalability requirements, and ensure this algorithm is supported by your load balancer, etc.
