Putting it all together - a combined topology

An example of a topology that combines the best elements of the other topologies discussed in this section is shown in the following figure.

Complex topology

This topology combines elements of several different basic topologies:

Typical use

This topology is designed to maximize throughput, availability, and performance. It incorporates the best practices of the other topologies discussed in this section:

In this topology, users notice an interruption only when an entire cell is lost. If this situation occurs, the active HTTP sessions are lost for half of the clients. The system can still process HTTP requests, although its performance is degraded.

The combined topology has several drawbacks:
