=====Scheduling algorithms=====
Numerous [[scheduling algorithm]]s, also called load-balancing methods, are used by load balancers to determine which back-end server to send a request to.
Simple algorithms include random choice, [[Round-robin scheduling|round robin]], or least connections.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://f5.com/resources/white-papers/load-balancing-101-nuts-and-bolts|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171205223948/https://f5.com/resources/white-papers/load-balancing-101-nuts-and-bolts|url-status=dead|archive-date=2017-12-05|title=Load Balancing 101: Nuts and Bolts|date=2017-12-05|publisher=[[F5, NetworksInc.|F5]]|access-date=2018-03-23}}</ref> More sophisticated load balancers may take additional factors into account, such as a server's reported load, least response times, up/down status (determined by a monitoring poll of some kind), a number of active connections, geographic ___location, capabilities, or how much traffic it has recently been assigned.
