This 10 option must be enabled for at least one of the clustered computers 11 that will take care of intercepting incoming connections to a 12 single IP address and scheduling them to real servers. 13 14 Three request dispatching techniques are implemented, they are 15 virtual server via NAT, virtual server via tunneling and virtual 16 server via direct routing. The several scheduling algorithms can 17 be used to choose which server the connection is directed to, 18 thus load balancing can be achieved among the servers.

This is incomplete and might be dangerous. 32 33 See http://www.mindbasket.com/ipvs for more information. 34 35 Say N if unsure. 36 37config IP_VS_DEBUG 38 bool "IP virtual server debugging" 39 ---help--- 40 Say Y here if you want to get additional messages useful in 41 debugging the IP virtual server code. You can change the debug 42 level in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/vs/debug_level 43 44config IP_VS_TAB_BITS 45 int "IPVS connection table size (the Nth power of 2)" 46 range 8 20 47 default 12 48 ---help--- 49 The IPVS connection hash table uses the chaining scheme to handle 50 hash collisions. Using a big IPVS connection hash table will greatly 51 reduce conflicts when there are hundreds of thousands of connections 52 in the hash table. 53 54 Note the table size must be power of 2. The table size will be the 55 value of 2 to the your input number power. The number to choose is 56 from 8 to 20, the default number is 12, which means the table size 57 is 4096. Don't input the number too small, otherwise you will lose 58 performance on it. You can adapt the table size yourself, according 59 to your virtual server application. It is good to set the table size 60 not far less than the number of connections per second multiplying 61 average lasting time of connection in the table. For example, your 62 virtual server gets 200 connections per second, the connection lasts 63 for 200 seconds in average in the connection table, the table size 64 should be not far less than 200x200, it is good to set the table 65 size 32768 (2**15). 66 67 Another note that each connection occupies 128 bytes effectively and 68 each hash entry uses 8 bytes, so you can estimate how much memory is 69 needed for your box. 70 71 You can overwrite this number setting conn_tab_bits module parameter 72 or by appending ip_vs.conn_tab_bits=? to the kernel command line 73 if IP VS was compiled built-in. 74 75comment "IPVS transport protocol load balancing support" 76 77config IP_VS_PROTO_TCP 78 bool "TCP load balancing support" 79 ---help--- 80 This option enables support for load balancing TCP transport 81 protocol.

Servers with higher weights receive 129 new connections first than those with less weights, and servers 130 with higher weights get more connections than those with less 131 weights and servers with equal weights get equal connections. 132 133 If you want to compile it in kernel, say Y.

It is usually used in cache cluster. 161 This algorithm usually directs packet destined for an IP address to 162 its server if the server is alive and under load. If the server is 163 overloaded (its active connection numbers is larger than its weight) 164 and there is a server in its half load, then allocate the weighted 165 least-connection server to this IP address. 166 167 If you want to compile it in kernel, say Y.

It is 175 usually used in cache cluster. It differs from the LBLC scheduling 176 as follows: the load balancer maintains mappings from a target 177 to a set of server nodes that can serve the target. Requests for 178 a target are assigned to the least-connection node in the target's 179 server set. If all the node in the server set are over loaded, 180 it picks up a least-connection node in the cluster and adds it 181 in the sever set for the target. If the server set has not been 182 modified for the specified time, the most loaded node is removed 183 from the server set, in order to avoid high degree of replication. 184 185 If you want to compile it in kernel, say Y.

The 213 expected delay that the job will experience is (Ci + 1) / Ui if 214 sent to the ith server, in which Ci is the number of connections 215 on the ith server and Ui is the fixed service rate (weight) 216 of the ith server. 217 218 If you want to compile it in kernel, say Y.

When there 227 is no idle server available, the job will be sent to the server 228 that minimize its expected delay (The Shortest Expected Delay 229 scheduling algorithm). 230 231 If you want to compile it in kernel, say Y.

In the virtual server via Network Address Translation, 243 the IP address and port number of real servers cannot be sent to 244 clients in ftp connections directly, so FTP protocol helper is 245 required for tracking the connection and mangling it back to that of 246 virtual service. 247 248 If you want to compile it in kernel, say Y.
