LVS is mainly composed of a kernel patch, and the use of some programs
(ipchains, ipvsadm).

Pulse, lvs, and nanny daemons are part of piranha, which adds automated
monitoring of
services and servers to LVS. If services fail, they are removed/added as
needed. If
the server fails, IP services and addresses are moved to another server.

If you are referring to the piranha components, they are well documented in
http://people.redhat.com/kbarrett/HA/documentation.html

Hope that helps.
