A vServer is configured to use the least bandwidth load-balancing method. During startup, which method is used by default?

• A. Least connections
• B. Least bandwidth
• C. Custom load
• D. Round-robin

Answer: (D)

When a vServer starts, there isn’t yet enough performance data (no active connections or bandwidth history) for methods that rely on measurements. Round-robin provides a simple, stateless way to distribute the initial requests evenly across the pool without needing any metrics. Once traffic and statistics are established, the system can apply the configured method (least bandwidth) for subsequent requests. So, during startup, round-robin is used by default.
