What is NLBs?

Network Load Balancers (NLBs) are a type of load balancer that operate at the transport layer (Layer 4 of the OSI model). They are used to distribute network traffic across multiple backend servers or targets. NLBs are known for their high performance, low latency, and ability to handle millions of requests per second. They are commonly used for load balancing TCP, UDP, and TLS traffic and are well-suited for applications that require extremely low latency and high throughput.
