Enhance IPVS to load balance SCTP transport protocol packets. This is done based on the SCTP rfc 4960. All possible control chunks have been taken care. The state machine used in this code looks some what lengthy. I tried to make the state machine easy to understand.

|
|
IP Virtual Server support will let you build a high-performance
|
|
virtual server based on cluster of two or more real servers. This
|
|
option must be enabled for at least one of the clustered computers
|
|
that will take care of intercepting incoming connections to a
|
|
single IP address and scheduling them to real servers.
|
|
|
|
Three request dispatching techniques are implemented, they are
|
|
virtual server via NAT, virtual server via tunneling and virtual
|
|
server via direct routing. The several scheduling algorithms can
|
|
be used to choose which server the connection is directed to,
|
|
thus load balancing can be achieved among the servers. For more
|
|
information and its administration program, please visit the
|
|
following URL: <http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/>.

|
|
---help---
|
|
The IPVS connection hash table uses the chaining scheme to handle
|
|
hash collisions. Using a big IPVS connection hash table will greatly
|
|
reduce conflicts when there are hundreds of thousands of connections
|
|
in the hash table.
|
|
|
|
Note the table size must be power of 2. The table size will be the
|
|
value of 2 to the your input number power. The number to choose is
|
|
from 8 to 20, the default number is 12, which means the table size
|
|
is 4096. Don't input the number too small, otherwise you will lose
|
|
performance on it. You can adapt the table size yourself, according
|
|
to your virtual server application. It is good to set the table size
|
|
not far less than the number of connections per second multiplying
|
|
average lasting time of connection in the table. For example, your
|
|
virtual server gets 200 connections per second, the connection lasts
|
|
for 200 seconds in average in the connection table, the table size
|
|
should be not far less than 200x200, it is good to set the table
|
|
size 32768 (2**15).
|
|
|
|
Another note that each connection occupies 128 bytes effectively and
|
|
each hash entry uses 8 bytes, so you can estimate how much memory is
|
|
needed for your box.
|
|
|
|
You can overwrite this number setting conn_tab_bits module parameter
|
|
or by appending ip_vs.conn_tab_bits=? to the kernel command line
|
|
if IP VS was compiled built-in.

---help---
|
|
The locality-based least-connection scheduling algorithm is for
|
|
destination IP load balancing. It is usually used in cache cluster.
|
|
This algorithm usually directs packet destined for an IP address to
|
|
its server if the server is alive and under load. If the server is
|
|
overloaded (its active connection numbers is larger than its weight)
|
|
and there is a server in its half load, then allocate the weighted
|
|
least-connection server to this IP address.

tristate "locality-based least-connection with replication scheduling"

---help---
|
|
The locality-based least-connection with replication scheduling
|
|
algorithm is also for destination IP load balancing. It is
|
|
usually used in cache cluster. It differs from the LBLC scheduling
|
|
as follows: the load balancer maintains mappings from a target
|
|
to a set of server nodes that can serve the target. Requests for
|
|
a target are assigned to the least-connection node in the target's
|
|
server set. If all the node in the server set are over loaded,
|
|
it picks up a least-connection node in the cluster and adds it
|
|
in the sever set for the target. If the server set has not been
|
|
modified for the specified time, the most loaded node is removed
|
|
from the server set, in order to avoid high degree of replication.

expected delay that the job will experience is (Ci + 1) / Ui if

sent to the ith server, in which Ci is the number of connections

the idle server, instead of waiting for a fast one. When there

FTP is a protocol that transfers IP address and/or port number in
