BaseLoadBalancer.Algorithm (Apache jclouds 1.7.3 API)

java.lang.Object
- java.lang.Enum<BaseLoadBalancer.Algorithm>
- - org.jclouds.rackspace.cloudloadbalancers.v1.domain.internal.BaseLoadBalancer.Algorithm

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<BaseLoadBalancer.Algorithm>

Enclosing class:

BaseLoadBalancer<N extends BaseNode<N>,T extends BaseLoadBalancer<N,T>>
```
public static enum BaseLoadBalancer.Algorithm
extends Enum<BaseLoadBalancer.Algorithm>
```
All load balancers utilize an algorithm that defines how traffic should be directed between back-end nodes. The default algorithm for newly created load balancers is RANDOM, which can be overridden at creation time or changed after the load balancer has been initially provisioned. The algorithm name is to be constant within a major revision of the load balancing API, though new algorithms may be created with a unique algorithm name within a given major revision of the service API.

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants
Enum Constant and Description
`LEAST_CONNECTIONS` The node with the lowest number of connections will receive requests.
`RANDOM` Back-end servers are selected at random.
`ROUND_ROBIN` Connections are routed to each of the back-end servers in turn.
`UNRECOGNIZED`
`WEIGHTED_LEAST_CONNECTIONS` Each request will be assigned to a node based on the number of concurrent connections to the node and its weight.
`WEIGHTED_ROUND_ROBIN` A round robin algorithm, but with different proportions of traffic being directed to the back-end nodes.

- Enum Constant Detail
  - LEAST_CONNECTIONS
```
public static final BaseLoadBalancer.Algorithm LEAST_CONNECTIONS
```
    The node with the lowest number of connections will receive requests.
  - RANDOM
```
public static final BaseLoadBalancer.Algorithm RANDOM
```
    Back-end servers are selected at random.
  - ROUND_ROBIN
```
public static final BaseLoadBalancer.Algorithm ROUND_ROBIN
```
    Connections are routed to each of the back-end servers in turn.
  - WEIGHTED_LEAST_CONNECTIONS
```
public static final BaseLoadBalancer.Algorithm WEIGHTED_LEAST_CONNECTIONS
```
    Each request will be assigned to a node based on the number of concurrent connections to the node and its weight.
  - WEIGHTED_ROUND_ROBIN
```
public static final BaseLoadBalancer.Algorithm WEIGHTED_ROUND_ROBIN
```
    A round robin algorithm, but with different proportions of traffic being directed to the back-end nodes. Weights must be defined as part of the load balancer's node configuration.
  - UNRECOGNIZED
```
public static final BaseLoadBalancer.Algorithm UNRECOGNIZED
```
- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static BaseLoadBalancer.Algorithm[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
```
for (BaseLoadBalancer.Algorithm c : BaseLoadBalancer.Algorithm.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static BaseLoadBalancer.Algorithm valueOf(String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - fromValue
```
public static BaseLoadBalancer.Algorithm fromValue(String algorithm)
```
