Best open source software load balancer for Linux

Question

Hi All,

I have a service that listens on a socket and handle requests arriving to it and a client loading this service. I want to setup more nodes of the service and use a load balancer to balance the workload.

What is , in your opinion and experience, the best open source software load balancer for Linux?

Thanks, Ronen,
