load balancing modes

I am looking at the following document:

https://cloud.google.com/load-balancing/docs/backend-service#balancing-mode-lb

In the table (Balancing modes available for each load balancer) in this section, how do i decypher this table. Does it mean the following:


![balancing mode for each load balancer|2412x1557](upload://w2tAKzQWP88ewBrMFKGhKrKG8cJ.jpeg)
  • Global external proxy Network Load Balancer > Instance groups backend > CONNECTION or UTILIZATION balancing mode
  • Global external proxy Network Load Balancer > Zonal NEGs (GCE_VM_IP_PORT endpoints) backend > CONNECTION balancing mode
  • Global external proxy Network Load Balancer > Hybrid NEGs backend > CONNECTION balancing mode
  • And likewise for each load balancer

Would the following be correct:

Load balancer Backends Balancing mode
Application Load Balancer Instance groups RATE or UTILIZATION
Application Load Balancer Zonal NEGs (GCE_VM_IP_PORT) RATE
Application Load Balancer Hybrid NEGs (NON_GCP_PRIVATE_IP) RATE
Global external proxy network load balancer Instance groups CONNECTION or UTILIZATION
Global external proxy network load balancer Zonal NEGs (GCE_VM_IP_PORT endpoints) CONNECTION
Global external proxy network load balancer Hybrid NEGs (NON_GCP_PRIVATE_IP_PORT endpoints) CONNECTION
Classic proxy Network Load Balancer Instance groups CONNECTION or UTILIZATION
Classic proxy Network Load Balancer Zonal NEGs (GCE_VM_IP_PORT endpoints) CONNECTION
Classic proxy Network Load Balancer Hybrid NEGs (NON_GCP_PRIVATE_IP_PORT endpoints) CONNECTION
Regional external proxy Network Load Balancer Instance groups CONNECTION or UTILIZATION
Regional external proxy Network Load Balancer Zonal NEGs (GCE_VM_IP_PORT endpoints) CONNECTION
Regional external proxy Network Load Balancer Hybrid NEGs (NON_GCP_PRIVATE_IP_PORT endpoints) CONNECTION
Regional internal proxy Network Load Balancer Instance groups CONNECTION or UTILIZATION
Regional internal proxy Network Load Balancer Zonal NEGs (GCE_VM_IP_PORT endpoints) CONNECTION
Regional internal proxy Network Load Balancer Hybrid NEGs (NON_GCP_PRIVATE_IP_PORT endpoints) CONNECTION
Cross-region internal proxy Network Load Balancer Instance groups CONNECTION or UTILIZATION
Cross-region internal proxy Network Load Balancer Zonal NEGs (GCE_VM_IP_PORT endpoints) CONNECTION
Cross-region internal proxy Network Load Balancer Hybrid NEGs (NON_GCP_PRIVATE_IP_PORT endpoints) CONNECTION
Passthrough Network Load Balancer Instance groups CONNECTION
Passthrough Network Load Balancer Zonal NEGs (GCE_VM_IP endpoints) CONNECTION

Did i get this right?
