You are using 'SLA Target' as your strategy. What happens if multiple members meet the SLA?

Trap 1: The system selects the one with the highest bandwidth capacity.

Bandwidth is not the primary driver for SLA Target strategy.

Trap 2: The system selects the member with the best performance (e.g.,…

It dynamically selects the best performer.

Trap 3: Traffic is sent through all of them simultaneously.

This would require load balancing.
