I just checked, the SRPM includes the 0.5x patch, but doesn't apply it. It
ships ip_cs.[ch] instead.
Well, it is an implementation of the code I would say ;) It appears it can
only do weighted round robin scheduling and doesn't do masquerading, but only
tunneling/direct.
My personal guess would also be that it isn't as scalable as ipvs, but thats
just an uneducated remark after briefly glancing over the code.
If you want to check out just the server code for yourself, I made it
available as ftp://ftp.teuto.net/pub/devel/lmb/cluster-kernel-4.0.4.tgz so you
don't have to grab the entire 17MB srpm.
My comments on this issue are: TurboLinux managed to act in a way which was
perceived as nice, and right now, their code is behind the LVS/ipvs code
featurewise for sure and, as I would assume, not as proven in the real world
nor as scalable.
Having two independant implementations, both GPL'ed, is generally a good
thing, because you can afford one of them to fail and learn from their
errors...
As far as I know, LVS/ipvs is also ahead w/ regard to becoming a netfilter
module, which will be a major boost again for performance and modularity.
