When Will Modified Weights Take Effect?¶
The new weights for backend servers take effect immediately after the weights are configured. Connections that have been established with backend servers will not be affected.
Note
If the weight of a backend server is changed to 0, the new weight does not take effect immediately, and requests are still routed to this backend server. This is because a persistent connection is established between the load balancer and the backend server and requests are routed to this server until the connection times out.
TCP and UDP listeners: Persistent connections are disconnected after the idle timeout duration expires.
HTTP and HTTPS listeners: Persistent connections are disconnected after the response timeout duration expires.
