Things to be learned before learning Load Balancing

Network Layers (Keep in mind when working with diffrent protocols)

Difference between HTTPS and SSL

SSL (Secure Socket Layer) or TLS (Transport Layer Security) works on top of the transport layer, in your examples TCP. TLS can be used for more or less any protocol, HTTPS is just one common instance of it.

HTTP is an application layer protocol.

In regular, non-encrypted HTTP, the protocol stack can look like this:

• HTTP
• TCP
• IP
• Ethernet

When using HTTPS, the stack looks like this:

• HTTP
• TLS (SSL)
• TCP
• IP
• Ethernet
