We built a traffic manager with weight routing method (former round robin mode), and configured two endpoints with same weight value.
We expected that the traffic will be evenly distributed to two endpoints. But actually we saw one endpoints got much more traffic than another one.
We then checked the "automation script" of traffic manager on portal and found this:
{
"name": "test1",
"type": "Microsoft.Network/trafficManagerProfiles/externalEndpoints",
"properties": {
"endpointStatus": "Enabled",
"target": "www.abc.com",
"weight": 1,
"priority": 1,
"endpointLocation": null
}
},
{
"name": "test2",
"type": "Microsoft.Network/trafficManagerProfiles/externalEndpoints",
"properties": {
"endpointStatus": "Enabled",
"target": "www.xyz.com",
"weight": 1,
"priority": 2,
"endpointLocation": null
}
}
There is "priority" in the above template, what priority mean in weight routing mode? Will this setting affect the traffic routing?
