Overview

An interactive simulation of load balancing algorithms including Round Robin, Least Connections, and Weighted Round Robin. It simulates live traffic across multiple servers, including changes in latency, active connections, failures, overloads, and recovery.

Outcome and Impact

Turns load balancing concepts into a working, observable system. The simulator shows how different algorithms distribute traffic and respond to server failures and capacity limits under identical conditions, providing a practical way to study performance, reliability, and failover without running a real server cluster.
