A method that allocates requests to servers evenly in turn.
The most basic load-balancing algorithm, which assigns requests to each server in turn. Since it doesn't account for differences in server processing capacity or session weight, load tends to become uneven among servers with differing performance. To compensate, real deployments often use weighted round robin, which weights servers by capacity, or the least-connections method, which distributes based on active connection count.
