Techopedia explains Round Robin
The round robin algorithm uses its scheduling techniques to assign processing time slices and transfer queued data packets. Network devices such as routers and switches implement special round robin algorithm buffer queues, which exist in device memory and store incoming and overloaded data for future processing.
The term is also used in load balancing for servers. For example, a front-end load balancer on a webfarm could distribute Internet traffic among a group of webservers based on a round-robin process.
