Network Load Balancing

Network load balancing is the ability to distribute load to multiple computers. In Kofax

Reporting, WSA Receivers can run in a load balancing scenario.

The NLB concept by itself provides failover only for the case when an NLB node in the cluster

is completely shut down: NLB directs all TCP-based traffic automatically only to the working

NLB nodes. However, NLB does not provide a failover solution for the case when a node

is running but the TCP-based services on the node (in our case web service listeners) have

problems, or if the service is stopped.

Therefore, WSA includes a feature called NLB Port Control that monitors the health of its

processes. In case of problems, the port control makes the node unavailable.

NLB is used to divide load to two or more computers. All computers run in parallel.
