Load Balancer
Version 3.1
Overview
The Load Balancer distributes traffic efficiently among streaming servers
so that no individual server is overburdened. The master server redirects
the player towards a randomly chosen slave server.
1. The player connects to the server.
2. The master server makes a random selection, and redirects the player
to another server (4Sight #2).
NOTE The master server can also accept connections acting as a slave server.
