Weighted Round Robin: Proportional Traffic

Distribute traffic based on server capacity. Bigger servers get more.

How It Works

Each origin gets a weight. Traffic distributed proportionally.

Use Cases

  • Mixed server capacities
  • Gradual rollouts
  • A/B testing
  • Migrations

Example

  • Origin A (weight: 70) → 70% traffic
  • Origin B (weight: 30) → 30% traffic
