 title: "SoftLayer_Network_LoadBalancer_Service"
-description: "Load balancer services represent the 'routes' that the load balancer will have available to route requests. Each service has a source port (located on the load balancer itself), and a destination IP address and port. Any services that share a source port will be used as potential routes for traffic coming into the load balancer on that port.  For instance, if there are two services that both have a source port of 80, both of those services will be used as balanced servers for traffic coming into your virtual IP on port 80.  For a more complete example, consider the following scenario: 
-
-
-:Virtual IP Address:  123.123.123.123
-:Servers on your account:
-:12.34.56.78
-:23.45.67.89
-:You want to set up both HTTP(port 80) and HTTPS (port 443) on each of those servers.
-:You will need four services:
-
-
-{| 
-|-
-! SourcePort
-! DestinationIpAddress
-! DestinationPort
-|-
-| 80
-| 12.34.56.78
-| 80
-|-
-| 80
-| 23.45.67.89
-| 80
-|-
-| 443
-| 12.34.56.78
-| 443
-|-
-| 443
-| 23.45.67.89
-| 443
-|}
-
-
-The services also have a routing type, these ALSO need to be the same for services that share the same port. For this example, the services with a source port of 80 should have HTTP as their type.  The other two services should have TCP as their type. 
-
-The affect of other variables are listed in their individual documentation. "
