Just to be a bit provocative, I'll add that WL does not perform load balancing, it performs load distribution.
I'll back this statement up with the following definitions. Load balancing implies that load is evenly distributed across a set of servers. Load distribution is the blind assignment of work to a server. Since RR assigns work blindly, it does not balance, rather it distributes work load.
