Oracle has Two Load Balancer Services available. , In case if you are not sure which one is best for you and what are the differences, you can refer the following chart provided by Oracle. https://cloud.oracle.com/load-balancers#
The load balancer service provides a reverse proxy solution that hides the IP of the client from backend application server and vice versa. It is capable of performing advanced layer 7 (HTTP/HTTPS), layer 4 (TCP) load balancing and SSL offloading.
Best for: Websites, mobile apps, SSL termination, and advanced HTTP handling.

The network load balancer service provides a pass-through (non-proxy solution) that is capable of preserving the client header (source and destination IP). It is built for speed, optimized for long running connections, high throughput and low latency.
Best for: Scaling network virtual appliances such as firewalls, real-time streaming, long running connections, Voice over IP (VoIP), Internet of Things (IoT), and trading platforms.
