By default there are two type of load evaluators in Citrix Xenapp 5.0

Advanced : Available rules

This is used when, all servers are not with same configuration.Some are P3 or some p4.

This rule allows your load evaluator to calculate a load based on the number of users accessing a specific published application on the attached server.

When the number of users accessing the published application is less than or equal to the threshold value indicated here, Load Manager reports a load percentage based on the threshold value.

The valid range for this rule is 1 to 10000.
