Maybe RIF-balancing is a better term.

Fascinating that 2-3 probes per request is a sweet spot, intuitively it seems like a lot of overhead.

Rquests (in flight or currently processing) are the load in this case. But I guess "queue balancing" captures the intuittion better: what matters for latency is the future delay more than current delay.

Least-conn is requests in flight. It’s like they’re trying to make it hard for people to search for prior art. My ass feels very smoky right now.
