4 LOAD BALANCINGThis chapter contains the following topics:n An overview of load balancingn How load balancing worksOverview The PS Hub has a very useful feature called load balancing which canbe used to configure segments in a stack of PS Hubs. The aim of loadbalancing is to increase total throughput across the segments in astack, providing more efficient segments.As load balancing configures segments in a stack, you cannot performworkgrouping at the same time. In effect, the segments participating inload balancing are a single, high-capacity workgroup.For load balancing to work properly, there must be either:n A PS Hub 50 in the stackn A switch connected to the hubs in the stack
