[Load Balancers](/load-balancer/how-to/create-load-balancer/) are highly available and fully managed instances that allow you to distribute workload across multiple servers. They ensure the scaling of all your applications while securing their continuous availability, even in the event of heavy traffic. They are commonly used to improve the performance and reliability of websites, applications, databases and other services.

## Maximum connections

`Maximum connections` is a parameter that defines the maximum number of simultaneous requests (for HTTP) or simultaneous connections (for TCP) permitted for a single Load Balancer. The value depends on the Load Balancer type:

151+
- **LB-S**: 20,000

- **LB-M**: 50,000

## Private Load Balancer
148157

149158
A Load Balancer is defined as private when you choose the "private" [accessibility](#accessibility) option during Load Balancer creation. A Private Load Balancer has no public IP address, and only listens to requests or connections sent through the Private Network(s) to which it is attached. Read more about private Load Balancers and their characteristics and limitations in our [dedicated documentation](/load-balancer/reference-content/public-private-accessibility/#private-load-balancers).

- **Max simultaneous**: Defines the maximum number of simultaneous requests (for HTTP) or simultaneous connections (for TCP) to any single backend server. A value of 20 means that each backend server will have a limit of 20 connections (even if, for example, there are only three servers in the backend). This setting is particularly relevant when using the [First available](#balancing-method) balancing method.
