In a GSLB vServer, what does the backup method LEASTCONNECTION represent when the primary RTT method is unavailable?

• A. Round Robin
• B. Least Connection
• C. Least Bandwidth
• D. Static Proximity

Answer: (B)

In GSLB, when the primary RTT method isn’t available, a backup method defines how to choose a target. The backup method LEASTCONNECTION means the vServer will route traffic to the site with the smallest number of active connections. This is a load-aware approach that helps avoid overloading any single site when latency data can’t be used. So, if RTT data can’t be retrieved, the system compares how many active connections each site currently has and selects the one with the fewest connections. The other options correspond to different metrics (Round Robin distributes evenly, Least Bandwidth uses current bandwidth, Static Proximity uses geographic closeness) and are not what LEASTCONNECTION represents.
