Go TCP Load Balancer

This is a simple TCP load balancer implemented in Go, supporting multiple load balancing strategies such as Round Robin, Random, Least Connections, and IP Hash. The load balancer distributes incoming connections across a set of backend servers.

Features

• Round Robin: Distributes connections evenly across all servers in a circular order.
• Random: Selects a server at random for each incoming connection.
• Least Connections: Selects the server with the fewest active connections.
• IP Hash: Maps clients to servers based on the hash of their IP address, ensuring the same client consistently connects to the same server.

Usage

Setting Up

1. Clone the repository:

   $git clone <repository-url>
   $cd <repository-directory>

2. Changing the Load Balancing Strategy You can change the load balancing strategy by calling the SetLoadBalancingStrategy function in main.go. The available strategies are:

   round_robin, random, least_connections, ip_hash Example:

    balancer.SetLoadBalancingStrategy("least_connections")

3. Run

   $go run .
   or
   $go build -o load_balancer main.go
   $./load_balancer
