Building blocks
| Part | |
|---|---|
| Frontend | where traffic comes in: one or more binds (address and port), mode http or tcp, a default backend |
| Routing rules | send matching traffic of a frontend to another backend, e.g. by host name; tcp frontends can route TLS traffic by its SNI host name |
| Backend | a pool of servers, mode http or tcp, balanced round-robin |
| Backend server | address and port, optionally with a health check |
