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.

Using a big IPVS connection hash table will greatly 52 reduce conflicts when there are hundreds of thousands of connections 53 in the hash table. 54 55 Note the table size must be power of 2. The table size will be the 56 value of 2 to the your input number power. The number to choose is 57 from 8 to 20, the default number is 12, which means the table size 58 is 4096. Don't input the number too small, otherwise you will lose 59 performance on it. You can adapt the table size yourself, according 60 to your virtual server application. It is good to set the table size 61 not far less than the number of connections per second multiplying 62 average lasting time of connection in the table. For example, your 63 virtual server gets 200 connections per second, the connection lasts 64 for 200 seconds in average in the connection table, the table size 65 should be not far less than 200x200, it is good to set the table 66 size 32768 (2**15). 67 68 Another note that each connection occupies 128 bytes effectively and 69 each hash entry uses 8 bytes, so you can estimate how much memory is 70 needed for your box. 71 72 You can overwrite this number setting conn_tab_bits module parameter 73 or by appending ip_vs.conn_tab_bits=? to the kernel command line 74 if IP VS was compiled built-in. 75 76comment "IPVS transport protocol load balancing support" 77 78config IP_VS_PROTO_TCP 79 bool "TCP load balancing support" 80 help 81 This option enables support for load balancing TCP transport 82 protocol.

Requests for 199 a target are assigned to the least-connection node in the target's 200 server set. If all the node in the server set are over loaded, 201 it picks up a least-connection node in the cluster and adds it 202 in the sever set for the target.
