# Industrial Specification: Load Balancer

## 1. Technical Definition
A component within a Connection Pool Manager that distributes incoming connection requests across multiple database servers or instances to optimize resource utilization and prevent overload.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **100-10000 requests/second**. Failure boundary: **12500 requests/second sustained for 300 seconds**, Mechanism: **Queue overflow due to Erlang B formula limitations at λ &gt; μ where λ=arrival rate (12.5k/s) exceeds μ=service rate (10k/s), causing buffer exhaustion**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| TCP SYN flood at 5000 packets/second exceeding 65535 connection limit | 8 | Connection table exhaustion causing 100% packet loss | Implement SYN cookies and reduce TCP_FIN_TIMEOUT to 30 seconds |
| Uneven load distribution with 70/30 split exceeding 60/40 design tolerance | 8 | Target server CPU saturation at 95% utilization for 180 seconds | Implement weighted round-robin algorithm with 5-second health checks and 10% overload threshold |

## 3. Key Technical Parameters
| Parameter | Value | Unit | Status |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| spec | Config-dependent | connections/sec | Verified |

## 5. Engineering Risks & FAQ
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 

### Q: How does this load balancer improve database performance in electronic manufacturing?
**A**: It distributes incoming connection requests evenly across multiple database servers, preventing any single server from becoming overloaded while maximizing resource utilization and maintaining consistent performance.

### Q: What components are included in this load balancer's BOM?
**A**: The bill of materials includes a Routing Engine for traffic distribution, a Health Monitor to track server availability, and a Configuration Interface for setup and management adjustments.

### Q: Can this load balancer integrate with existing database infrastructure?
**A**: Yes, it's designed as a modular component that connects between your application servers and database instances, compatible with standard database protocols and requiring minimal configuration.
