A pooled host pool uses the depth-first load-balancing algorithm. The Max session limit is set to 10 per session host. The pool has three identical session hosts (Host1, Host2, Host3). Twenty-five users connect during peak hours. How will sessions be distributed?

Correct answer: Host1 = 10, Host2 = 10, Host3 = 5.
Why this is the answer
The depth-first load balancing algorithm fills each session host to its maximum capacity before moving to the next host. With a Max session limit of 10 per host and three hosts, the first 10 users will connect to Host1. The next 10 users will connect to Host2. The remaining 5 users (25 total users - 10 on Host1 - 10 on Host2) will connect to Host3. This results in Host1 having 10 sessions, Host2 having 10 sessions, and Host3 having 5 sessions. The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the depth-first algorithm's behavior of filling hosts sequentially to their maximum limit.
