This blog has covered server load balancing for years, and will of course continue to do so. There is another type of load balancing however, that I’m going to start covering as well, known as “link load balancing”.
Link load balancing (sometimes called WAN controllers and half a dozen other terms) is taking several non-carrier grade Internet connections with various prociders (such as DSL or Cable) and combining them for scaling and redundancy.
There are several vendors in the space, and in the next few days I’ll be putting up related material. Link load balancing will also be covered in the lbwiki.
