Log10 Loadshare -

Structures with logarithmic loadshare characteristics are efficient at dissipating kinetic energy. As the flow increases (logarithmically), the energy line drops rapidly, reducing scouring downstream compared to linear flow devices.

In cloud environments, you may have:

A linear loadshare would drown the small servers, causing high error rates under load. Log10 loadshare lets the small servers handle a fair, albeit smaller, fraction of requests without being overloaded. log10 loadshare

If a high-capacity server starts failing requests, you can temporarily reduce its weight by treating its effective capacity as lower. Because weights compress, other servers can absorb the load without cascading failure. A linear loadshare would drown the small servers,
