Least Connections
Least Connections mode is relatively simple in that the BIG-IP passes a new
connection to the node that has the least number of current connections.
Least Connections mode works best in environments where the servers or
other equipment you are load balancing have similar capabilities.
This is a dynamic load balancing mode, distributing connections based on
various aspects of real-time server performance analysis, such as the current
number of connections per node or the fastest node response time.
Load balancing calculations may be localized to each pool (member-based
calculation) or they may apply to all pools of which a server is a member
(node-based calculation). The variant of the mode using member-based
calculation is distinguished by the extension least_conn_member.
Observed
Observed mode uses a combination of the logic used in the Least
Connection and Fastest modes. In Observed mode, nodes are ranked based
on a combination of the number of current connections and the response
time. Nodes that have a better balance of fewest connections and fastest
response time receive a greater proportion of the connections. Observed
mode also works well in any environment, but may be particularly useful in
environments where node performance varies significantly.

number of connections per node or the fastest node response time.

Predictive
Predictive mode also uses the ranking methods used by Observed mode,
where nodes are rated according to a combination of the number of current
connections and the response time. However, in Predictive mode, the
BIG-IP analyzes the trend of the ranking over time, determining whether a
node’s performance is currently improving or declining. The nodes with
better performance rankings that are currently improving, rather than
declining, receive a higher proportion of the connections. Predictive mode
works well in any environment.
