It allows you take advantage of Net8's ability to multiplex or funnel multiple client sessions over a single transport to a multi-threaded server. Like connection pooling, concentration optimizes network resources and increases the number of client-server sessions that are possible across a fixed number of physical server ports. Unlike connection pooling, concentration maintains the transport connection. The table below summarizes the relative advantages with using connection pooling and concentration and provides recommendations for using them in your network. Optimizes resource utilization.
Concentration Supports large client populations.
Allows identification and monitoring of real users. Allows mid-tier applications to support additional services. Requires only a single transport for clients with multiple applications. Requires only a single network connection for database links. Client Load Balancing Load balancing is a feature by which client connections are distributed evenly among multiple listeners, dispatchers, instances, and nodes so that no single component is overloaded.
