Architecturally LVS-DR should have an advantage over anything
that acts as a proxy as only packets received from the end-user
need to pass through the linux-director - return packets bypass it.
For this reason I would expect that in situations of high load
that LVS-DR would be an attractive choice.
I also suspect that as IPVS lives in the kernel that it has another
performance advantage which would help in situations of high load.
