Why is NLB necessary? The importance of load balancing cannot be denied, as it helps optimize performance and enhance user experience. The main benefits of NLB include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>High Availability<\/li>\n<li>Scalability<\/li>\n<li>Fault Tolerance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The applications of NLB are varied, from <strong>Web Server Load Balancing<\/strong> to <strong>Application Load Balancing<\/strong> and <strong>Internal Service Load Balancing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Network_Load_Balancing_NLB_Operating_Principles\"><\/span>2.
