AWS's ultra-high performance Layer 4 load balancer that handles millions of requests per second with ultra-low latency. Like an express highway toll plaza that processes cars at lightning speed.
A gaming company uses Network Load Balancer to handle millions of player connections with minimal lag, routing traffic based on IP and port.
All are Layer 4 (TCP/UDP) load balancers designed for very high throughput and low latency. AWS NLB and OCI Network Load Balancer are dedicated L4 options; Azure Standard Load Balancer and GCP’s TCP/UDP Network Load Balancer provide similar L4 distribution using IP/port-based routing and health checks.
