Subject: ipvs-0.1.1-2.4.0 available
Hi,
The ipvs-0.1.1 for kernel 2.4 is available at the LVS site. Just a new
scheduler was added.
IP Virtual Server Netfilter module - Version 0.1.1 - November 30, 2000
Changes:
* Added the Locality-Based Least Connection with Replication
scheduler. In the LBLC scheduling, the load balancer
maintains mappings from a target to a cache node, when the
cache node is overloaded, the target may be remapped to the
current least loaded node. The target will cause the node
overloaded again, then will be remapped to other node, and
so on. This is the "hot spot" problem, it may lead to a lot
of replications in most nodes. So, the LBLC with Replication
algorithm is introduced to solve this problem, it maintains
mappings from a target to a set of nodes that can solve this
target. So, the "hot spot" can be solved by a set of nodes,
then "hot spot" can seldom overload one and another among
all the nodes.
Thanks,
Wensong
