Network Load Balancer is capable of handling millions of requests per second while maintaining ultra-low latencies. It is also optimized to handle sudden and volatile traffic patterns while using a single static IP address per Availability Zone. Network Load Balancer operates at the connect level (Level 4) so you can load balance both TCP and UDP traffic, routing connections to targets, such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances, microservices, and containers.
