A load balancing router is a device that is installed into a network to aggregate multiple connections to perform load balancing. Network traffic is routed by the load balancing router over the multiple connections. The purpose of the router is mainly to share traffic over the connections to avoid overloading a single connection. If a single connection does fail, the router will continue to distribute traffic over the other available connection(s) to ensure network uptime.
