Application Request Routing (ARR) is an advanced extension for Internet Information Services (IIS) that enables an IIS server to function as a powerful and flexible load balancer. It goes beyond simple traffic distribution by offering content-based routing, allowing administrators to direct requests based on HTTP headers, URL parameters, and server variables. ARR supports various load balancing algorithms and provides features like health monitoring, session persistence, and SSL offloading. Its integration with IIS makes it particularly useful in Windows Server environments, allowing for sophisticated traffic management in web farms and distributed applications. ARR can also act as a reverse proxy, enabling scenarios like caching and request preprocessing.
