Selected Answer: D

D is correct!!! Given that the maximum session limit is 5 and the load balancing algorithm is set to breadth-first, let’s reassess the situation: Host1 has 3 sessions. Host2 has 2 sessions. Host3 is shut down. With the breadth-first algorithm, new sessions will be distributed evenly across available hosts until they reach their session limits. Since Host1 and Host2 are not yet at their maximum session limit of 5, additional sessions will be assigned to these hosts first. To start Host3, both Host1 and Host2 need to reach their session limit of 5. Currently, Host1 has 3 sessions and Host2 has 2 sessions, so: Host1 needs 2 more sessions to reach 5. Host2 needs 3 more sessions to reach 5. But that will only max out Host 1 and 2 - in order to start Host 3 you would need a 6 user to login. So, the correct answer is: D. 6

Selected Answer: C

Currently, Host1 has 3 sessions and Host2 has 2 sessions. Since the load balancing algorithm is set to breadth-first, new sessions will be distributed to the least loaded session host until the max session limit is reached. To start Host3, the existing session hosts (Host1 and Host2) must reach their max session limit of 5 sessions each. Host1 can take 2 more sessions (3 + 2 = 5). Host2 can take 3 more sessions (2 + 3 = 5). Therefore, a total of 5 additional users must connect to Pool1 to start Host3.

Okay, your math is wrong, because your math will actually just max out host 1 and host 2. You would need a 6th person logging in to trigger host 3 to turn on. By maxing out host 1 and host 2 without a 6th person logging in, host 3 will stay off. So, the answer is D, 6.

You are correct 5 will not trigger. 6th person logging in to trigger host 3 to turn on. So D it is
