The ________ load balancing algorithm uses ICMP to determine the shortest time to and from the
firewall and each individual physical server. It then chooses the server with the shortest time.
A.
Server Load.
B.
Router Load.
C.
Round Trip
D.
Round Robin
E.
Domain
Explanation:
: This is one of the load balancing methods provided by Checkpoint, the others are “Server load”,
“Round Robin”, “Random” and “Domain”. Here is an example of the process of “Round Trip” load
balancing. First, a client send an HTTP communication request the VPN1/FW1 module, then the
load balancing application pings all the logical servers that belong to the HTTP service averaging
the round trip, and finally, the application notifies the firewall module which server has the lowest
round trip time. The firewall module then send the request to the appropriate physical service. See
