Gateway Load Balancer

Gateway Load Balancer (GWLB) is a networking service that efficiently distributes incoming traffic across multiple security or monitoring appliances, such as firewalls or intrusion detection systems. It acts as an intermediary, directing traffic seamlessly so these devices can inspect or analyze data without becoming overwhelmed. This improves network security, availability, and scalability by ensuring no single device gets overburdened while maintaining continuous, balanced data flow. In essence, GWLB enhances network performance and security management by intelligently managing traffic distribution behind the scenes.
