Purpose
This tutorial provides instructions for creating a WebLogic domain with Oracle Traffic Director to be able to
create and configure Oracle Traffic Director Configurations and Instances using the Oracle Fusion
Middleware Configuration Wizard.
Time to Complete
Approximately 15 Minutes.
Background
Oracle Traffic Director is a fast, reliable, and scalable layer-7 software load balancer. You can set up
Oracle Traffic Director to serve as the reliable entry point for all HTTP, HTTPS and TCP traffic to
application servers and web servers in the back end. Oracle Traffic Director distributes the requests that it
receives from clients to servers in the back end based on the specified load-balancing algorithm, routes
the requests based on specified rules, caches frequently accessed data, prioritizes traffic, and controls the
quality of service.
When a WebLogic Server domain is extended to Oracle Traffic Director, the Oracle Traffic Director
instances and configurations can be managed like any other elements of the WebLogic Server domain.
Specifically, the instances can be managed from Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control, the
WLST Command line interface, and WebLogic Server Node Manager.
