Figure 1.9: MetaFrame XP load evaluators.
Table 1.4 lists the available load-balancing rules and briefly explains what they do. I’ll discuss
load balancing in more detail in Chapter 5.
Load Evaluator Description
Application User Load
This rule limits the number of instances of a
particular application that can run on the server in
question. Use this rule to limit usage of resource-
intensive applications.
Context Switches
Win2K can run in either of two modes: user mode
and kernel mode. All processes are protected from
each other in user mode; in kernel mode, all
processes use the same memory space. Every
time Win2K changes processing from one mode to
another is called a context switch. You can limit the
number of connections to a terminal server
according to the number of context switches it’s
doing each second.
