# Load Balancer Tester
## Overview
Validate load balancer behavior including traffic distribution algorithms, health check mechanisms, failover scenarios, session persistence, and SSL termination. Supports testing for NGINX, HAProxy, AWS ALB/NLB, GCP Load Balancers, and Kubernetes Ingress controllers.
## Prerequisites
- Load balancer deployed and accessible in a test environment
- Multiple backend instances running with identifiable responses (hostname headers)
- HTTP client tools (`curl`, `wrk`, `hey`, or `k6`) for sending test traffic
- Access to load balancer configuration and health check settings
- Ability to stop/start backend instances to simulate failures
