I believe the original intentions are to balance server resources for
maximum utilization and not for bandwidth throttling. These are two very
different services, load balancing VS QOS.

You really should take more time to comprehend the meaning 
of what these articles are implying. 
Load balancing IS the result of bandwidth throttling. 
Just think about it.

Oh well, you know the old saying,  
you can lead a horse to water but you can not make him drink.

Well, thanks for the links but I just read both articles, and neither of
them deal with load balancing, or round-robin'ing incoming connections
to a same port. Those links are for (mostly) bandwitdh throttling.
