Two Balance Algorithms are available:

Time algorithm are forwarded to the server that can fulfill them
within the shortest time.
• Round Robin: Requests for a Service using the Round Robin
algorithm are distributed evenly among the available servers.

Algorithm for the Service selected in the Policies display. If you
select Response Time, type a value (in milliseconds) in the Max
