Deploying a load balancer with Sametime TURN Servers

Although IBM® Sametime® TURN Server cannot be clustered for high availability, you can provide some additional service by deploying multiple TURN Servers with a load balancer to distribute the workload.

Before you begin

Review the section on Planning a cluster of TURN Servers and reserve the recommended IP addresses for the cluster. Before deploying a load balancer, make sure that all of the TURN Servers can communicate with each other (from each server, ping each of the other servers to ensure network reachability).
