Predictive mode
Predictive mode is a dynamic load balancing mode that bases connection
distribution on a combination of two factors: the server that currently hosts
the fewest connections, and also has the fastest response time. Predictive
mode also ranks server performance over time, and passes connections to
servers which exhibit an improvement in performance rather than a decline.
rate class
You create a rate filter from the Configuration utility or command line
utility. When you assign a rate class to a rate filter, a rate class determines
the volume of traffic allowed through a rate filter. See also rate filter.
rate filter
Rate filters consist of a basic filter with a rate class. Rate filters are a type of
extended IP filter. They use the same IP filter method, but they apply a rate
class, which determines the volume of network traffic allowed through the
filter. See also rate class.
ratio
A ratio is a parameter that assigns a weight to a virtual server for load
balancing purposes.
Ratio mode
The Ratio load balancing mode distributes connections across an array of
virtual servers in proportion to the ratio weights assigned to each individual
virtual server.
receive expression
A receive expression is the text string that the BIG-IP looks for in the web
page returned by a web server during an extended content verification
(ECV) health check.
redundant system
Redundant system refers to a pair of BIG-IP units that are configured for
fail-over. In a redundant system, there are two units, one running as the
active unit and one running as the standby unit. If the active unit fails, the
standby unit takes over and manages connection requests.
remote administrative IP address
A remote administrative IP address is an IP address from which a BIG-IP
allows shell connections, such as Telnet or SSH.
remote server acceleration
A remote server acceleration configuration is a configuration in which a
BIG-IP Cache Controller redundant system uses content-aware traffic
direction to enhance the efficiency of an array of cache servers that cache
content for a remote web server.
