<h1 class="topictitle1">TCP/IP workload balancing methods</h1>
<div><p><dfn class="term">Workload balancing</dfn> is redistributing network traffic
and workload of heavily accessed machines across multiple processors, multiple
interface adapters, or multiple host servers.</p>
<p>If you want to get the best performance possible from your iSeries™ server,
you should put the communications load on multiple parts of your server.</p>
<p>Several different TCP/IP routing methods can be used to balance the workload
of your iSeries server.</p>

<ul class="ullinks">
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzajwdnsrr.htm">DNS-based load balancing</a></strong><br />
You can use DNS-based load balancing for your inbound workload. If load balancing is needed for local clients, use DNS load balancing.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzajwdbrr.htm">Duplicate route-based load balancing</a></strong><br />
You can learn about outbound workload balancing across multiple interfaces.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzajwlbvip.htm">Scenario: Adapter failover using virtual IP and proxy ARP</a></strong><br />
This solution requires you to have an external load balancing machine,
such as IBM<sup>®</sup> eNetwork
Dispatcher. Virtual IP addresses allow you to assign an address to the system
rather than to a specific interface. You can define the same address to multiple
servers, which allows many new options for load balancing.</li>
