Periodically each member transmits an NLB exchange message over the load balanced adapters. Each member in the cluster receives all the incoming requests, and they'll be used as a fully distributed algorithm to determine which member processes their request; all other members discard the request. This process is called Affinity. There are three types of Affinity, None, Single, and Network. With this setting, each client traffic is directed to any node in the cluster, dependent on existing load.
