DAY 01 - Application Traffic Flow & Application Delivery Control

In this video, we'll dive into the fundamentals of HTTP protocols and explore the essential concepts of load balancing. You'll learn about different HTTP methods, response codes, and how load balancing ensures scalability, high availability, and predictability in server management. Join us as we break down these technical topics into easy-to-understand segments, perfect for anyone looking to enhance their networking knowledge. 


  1. HTTP Protocols: Explanation of different HTTP methods (GET, POST, etc.) and HTTP response codes (100-500 series).
  2. Load Balancing: Overview of load balancing, its purpose, and methods, including virtualizing services to distribute traffic across multiple servers to ensure scalability, high availability, and predictability.
  3. Scalability: The capability of adding servers to handle increased load without affecting performance.
  4. High Availability: Ensuring applications remain accessible even if some servers fail, with load balancers performing health checks.
  5. Predictability: Confidence in service delivery regarding application availability and performance.
  6. Application Delivery Controller (ADC): Functions beyond load balancing, such as traffic inspection, request modification, and directing traffic based on optimization for different user types.
  7. Health Checks: Load balancers periodically check the health of backend servers to ensure traffic is sent to operational servers.
  8. Additional Information: Mention of providing PDF certification guides and running notes, along with practical tasks for hands-on learning.
