Least Connections

Least Connections is a method used to distribute network traffic or tasks across multiple servers. It works by directing each new request to the server with the fewest active connections at that moment. This approach helps balance the load efficiently, ensuring no single server becomes overwhelmed while others are underused. It adapts well to situations where tasks vary in duration, as servers with fewer ongoing tasks are more likely to handle the next request, leading to fairer and more effective resource utilization.
