The table is a hash with buckets. The buckets themselves are a linked list.
The hashing algorithm is based for the in part on the client's IP address
so having 1000 connections from the same client will give different hash
table usage to 1000 connections from the same client. The lookup semantics
of the hash table contributes almost entirely to any performance overhead
LVS has once a connection is established so it seems logical to try an
reproduce hash table usage, as it would occur in the real world, as closely
as possible.
