/CPU_RATING=cpu-power /NOCPU_RATING The /CPU_RATING qualifier assigns your local node a rating that represents the power of your node's CPU (central processing unit) relative to other CPUs in the LAN. The value of cpu-power can range from 1 (for a CPU with the lowest power) to 100 (for a CPU with the highest power). When a terminal server or node requests a connection to a service that is offered on the local node and one or more other service nodes, the requesting node selects the service node with the highest (most favorable) service rating, based on the overall level of activity of the node that offers the service and the amount of memory. This selection process is called load balancing. You can influence the rating for services on your node by specifying a value for the /CPU_RATING qualifier. If you specify a high value for cpu-power, the LAT driver will calculate a relatively high service rating for services on your node (service ratings as high as 255 are possible). If you specify a low value, the LAT driver will calculate relatively low service ratings; connections will most likely be made to the same service that is offered on other nodes. In either case, the LAT driver can calculate a greater range of values for dynamic service ratings (the entire range from 0 to 255). Consequently, the ratings will more accurately reflect the availability of the service node. If you do not specify either the /CPU_RATING=cpu-power or /NOCPU_ RATING qualifier, the default is that no CPU rating will be used A value of 0 indicates no CPU rating.
