10	  IP Virtual Server support will let you build a high-performance
11	  virtual server based on cluster of two or more real servers. This
12	  option must be enabled for at least one of the clustered computers
13	  that will take care of intercepting incoming connections to a
14	  single IP address and scheduling them to real servers.
15
16	  Three request dispatching techniques are implemented, they are
17	  virtual server via NAT, virtual server via tunneling and virtual
18	  server via direct routing. The several scheduling algorithms can
19	  be used to choose which server the connection is directed to,
20	  thus load balancing can be achieved among the servers.  For more
21	  information and its administration program, please visit the
22	  following URL: <http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/>.

50	help
51	  The IPVS connection hash table uses the chaining scheme to handle
52	  hash collisions. Using a big IPVS connection hash table will greatly
53	  reduce conflicts when there are hundreds of thousands of connections
54	  in the hash table.
55
56	  Note the table size must be power of 2. The table size will be the
57	  value of 2 to the your input number power. The number to choose is
58	  from 8 to 27 for 64BIT(20 otherwise), the default number is 12,
59	  which means the table size is 4096. Don't input the number too
60	  small, otherwise you will lose performance on it. You can adapt the
61	  table size yourself, according to your virtual server application.
62	  It is good to set the table size not far less than the number of
63	  connections per second multiplying average lasting time of
64	  connection in the table.  For example, your virtual server gets 200
65	  connections per second, the connection lasts for 200 seconds in
66	  average in the connection table, the table size should be not far
67	  less than 200x200, it is good to set the table size 32768 (2**15).
68
69	  Another note that each connection occupies 128 bytes effectively and
70	  each hash entry uses 8 bytes, so you can estimate how much memory is
71	  needed for your box.
72
73	  You can overwrite this number setting conn_tab_bits module parameter
74	  or by appending ip_vs.conn_tab_bits=? to the kernel command line if
75	  IP VS was compiled built-in.

196	  algorithm is also for destination IP load balancing. It is
197	  usually used in cache cluster. It differs from the LBLC scheduling
198	  as follows: the load balancer maintains mappings from a target
199	  to a set of server nodes that can serve the target. Requests for
200	  a target are assigned to the least-connection node in the target's
201	  server set. If all the node in the server set are over loaded,
202	  it picks up a least-connection node in the cluster and adds it
203	  in the sever set for the target. If the server set has not been

205	  from the server set, in order to avoid high degree of replication.

233	  The maglev consistent hashing scheduling algorithm provides the

235	  network connections to the servers through looking up a statically

237	  is to assign a preference list of all the lookup table positions
238	  to each destination.
239

241	  share of the lookup table to each of the destinations and provides
