Description
Your application modules can update their load with the LLC by a call to sk_broadcastLoad(). The load tells the LLC how busy the process is. High values are busier than low values.
If the processes do not call sk_broadcastLoad(), then the LLC distributes the messages in an alternating manner between all available application modules.
This function is also available as sk_broadcastLoadOnConnection() and skts_broadcastLoad().
