More on scheduling...

[Benjamin Lee <benjaminlee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi again all,

Just another scheduling question:

(I know, looking through code would be good for me. ;-) I will, that's what 
Summer is for...)

After the first SYN packet is directed to the appropriate real server, how does 
ipvs keep track of where to route the subsequent TCP packets?
I assume it would be something very similar to the way normal NAT works.

Is the implementation for this (routing) different in ipvs for kernels 2.2 and 
2.4 (netfilter) ?
I would think that netfilter would take care of a large part of this.

Best regards to all,
Ben
