The citrix load balancing is so called "passive load balancing".
The configuration checks for the least busy server, following the LB rules defined, and connects to that one.
If the server fails during the session, the session is lost, and you have to reconnect from scratch.
Citrix farm is a collection of citrix servers which provide published applications to all users. It also prevent singel of failure of all citrix servers due to load balanced capabilities.
Yes there is such a thing as a multi WAN with load balancing. They use the load balancing to prevent the network from being overloaded.
There's no such thing as "international" load balancing. Load balancing is a computer solution that makes sure one machine in a cluster isn't being hammered by work requests rather than them being spread across the cluster.
Load balancing is a term used in the field of parallel programming, in which multiple CPUs (or even multiple different machines) will be doing work at the same time. Load balancing itself refers to allotting each CPU an amount of work (a 'load') which will ensure that they all finish processing at the same time.The whole point of parallel processing is to reduce the amount of time it takes to perform a task. Without load balancing techniques, we may have one CPU doing 90% of the work and another doing only 10%. This does not give us a good speedup.An ideal load balancing algorithm will distribute (100/N)% of the work over N processors.
Implementing load balancing
Default, Advanced except both we can create our own load evaluator .
To distribute equal work load on each workers and machines.
The load load balancing solution is recommeneded on linux based servers although not necessary it will improve load performace.
Load balancing uses multiple hardware devices to make tasks more efficient. Also, using load balancing increases system speed
There are several solutions for balancing the load of web applications. There are several Application load balancing softwares available.

DNS load balancing is defined to be spreading the load of people on a certain website accross multiple survers if one does not suffice. One can find more information about DNS load balancing on sites like Zytrax and Splux.
