A network engineer is configuring a device that distributes incoming web traffic evenly across several web servers. This is to ensure high availability and optimal resource utilization. Which device is BEST suited for this purpose?
Patch panel
Load balancer
Firewall

A load balancer is designed to distribute incoming network traffic across multiple servers to ensure no single server bears too much demand. By spreading the load, a load balancer reduces individual server load, prevents any one server from becoming a single point of failure, and improves overall network efficiency and performance.
