<description>Heartbeat Traffic Counting load balancer scheduler algorithm for <module
>mod_proxy_balancer</module></description>
<status>Experimental</status>
<identifier>lbmethod_heartbeat_module</identifier>
<compatibility>Available in version 2.3 and later</compatibility>
<summary>
<p>lbmethod=heartbeat uses the services of <module
>mod_heartmonitor</module> to balance between origin servers that are providing
heartbeat info via the <module>mod_heartbeat</module> module.</p>
<p> This modules load balancing algorithm favors servers with more ready (idle)
capacity over time, but does not select the server with the most ready capacity
every time. Servers that have 0 active clients are penalized, with the
assumption that they are not fully initialized.</p>
