On fortigate virtual server, I found an algorithm called weight for server load balance, is it weight round robin or weight least connection?

Hi Team,


If its weight algorithm, 
Real servers with a higher weight value receive a larger percentage of connections. Set the real server weight when adding a real server.

You can refer this article for the same:
