Once a particular pool has been selected, a GSLB algorithm (as indicated in the GslbPool.algorithm parameter) balances load across member services of the pool. In round robin algorithm, the traffic is distributed evenly across all members and the traffic can optionally be skewed by weight.

Weights are implied by the value of the GslbPoolMember.ratio parameter of the member, which defaults to 1, and can range from 1 to 20. For example, if virtual services A, B, and C have ratios of 1, 2 and 3 respectively, virtual service A will receive one-sixth of the traffic, while virtual services B and C get will one-third and one-half of the load respectively.

Run through the following steps to configure round-robin algorithm for the GSLB service.
