This 11 option must be enabled for at least one of the clustered computers 12 that will take care of intercepting incoming connections to a 13 single IP address and scheduling them to real servers. 14 15 Three request dispatching techniques are implemented, they are 16 virtual server via NAT, virtual server via tunneling and virtual 17 server via direct routing. The several scheduling algorithms can 18 be used to choose which server the connection is directed to, 19 thus load balancing can be achieved among the servers.

This is incomplete and might be dangerous. 33 34 See http://www.mindbasket.com/ipvs for more information. 35 36 Say N if unsure. 37 38config IP_VS_DEBUG 39 bool "IP virtual server debugging" 40 ---help--- 41 Say Y here if you want to get additional messages useful in 42 debugging the IP virtual server code. You can change the debug 43 level in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/vs/debug_level 44 45config IP_VS_TAB_BITS 46 int "IPVS connection table size (the Nth power of 2)" 47 range 8 20 48 default 12 49 ---help--- 50 The IPVS connection hash table uses the chaining scheme to handle 51 hash collisions. 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.

Servers with higher weights receive 130 new connections first than those with less weights, and servers 131 with higher weights get more connections than those with less 132 weights and servers with equal weights get equal connections. 133 134 If you want to compile it in kernel, say Y.

If unsure, say N. 156 157config IP_VS_LBLC 158 tristate "locality-based least-connection scheduling" 159 ---help--- 160 The locality-based least-connection scheduling algorithm is for 161 destination IP load balancing. It is usually used in cache cluster. 162 This algorithm usually directs packet destined for an IP address to 163 its server if the server is alive and under load. If the server is 164 overloaded (its active connection numbers is larger than its weight) 165 and there is a server in its half load, then allocate the weighted 166 least-connection server to this IP address. 167 168 If you want to compile it in kernel, say Y.

If unsure, say N. 170 171config IP_VS_LBLCR 172 tristate "locality-based least-connection with replication scheduling" 173 ---help--- 174 The locality-based least-connection with replication scheduling 175 algorithm is also for destination IP load balancing. It is 176 usually used in cache cluster. It differs from the LBLC scheduling 177 as follows: the load balancer maintains mappings from a target 178 to a set of server nodes that can serve the target. Requests for 179 a target are assigned to the least-connection node in the target's 180 server set. If all the node in the server set are over loaded, 181 it picks up a least-connection node in the cluster and adds it 182 in the sever set for the target. If the server set has not been 183 modified for the specified time, the most loaded node is removed 184 from the server set, in order to avoid high degree of replication. 185 186 If you want to compile it in kernel, say Y.

The 214 expected delay that the job will experience is (Ci + 1) / Ui if 215 sent to the ith server, in which Ci is the number of connections 216 on the ith server and Ui is the fixed service rate (weight) 217 of the ith server. 218 219 If you want to compile it in kernel, say Y.

If unsure, say N. 221 222config IP_VS_NQ 223 tristate "never queue scheduling" 224 ---help--- 225 The never queue scheduling algorithm adopts a two-speed model. 226 When there is an idle server available, the job will be sent to 227 the idle server, instead of waiting for a fast one. When there 228 is no idle server available, the job will be sent to the server 229 that minimize its expected delay (The Shortest Expected Delay 230 scheduling algorithm). 231 232 If you want to compile it in kernel, say Y.

In the virtual server via Network Address Translation, 244 the IP address and port number of real servers cannot be sent to 245 clients in ftp connections directly, so FTP protocol helper is 246 required for tracking the connection and mangling it back to that of 247 virtual service. 248 249 If you want to compile it in kernel, say Y.
