This comprehensive Load Balancing & Traffic Distribution quiz covers all essential concepts you need to master for your IT certification exam. With 25 carefully crafted questions, you'll test your knowledge across multiple difficulty levels.
At which OSI layer does a load balancer that forwards traffic based solely on source/destination IP addresses and TCP/UDP ports operate?
✓ Correct Answer: A
A Layer 4 load balancer makes forwarding decisions using transport-layer information such as IP addresses and TCP/UDP ports, without inspecting payload. Layer 7 inspects application content like HTTP headers, so it is too high. Layer 3 routes packets but does not balance connections across pools using port data. Layer 2 switches frames by MAC address and has no concept of TCP sessions.
Which load balancing algorithm distributes incoming requests sequentially to each backend server in turn before cycling back to the first?
✓ Correct Answer: C
Round-robin sends each new request to the next server in order, looping back to the start after the last one, giving an even rotation regardless of load. Least connections routes to the server with the fewest active sessions, not in a fixed order. IP hash maps a client IP to a specific server. Weighted response time favors faster-responding servers rather than rotating evenly.
