Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of computers, in particular to a load balancing method, a load balancer and a system. Background technique
[0002] After the introduction of cluster technology, load balancing, as the core of cluster technology, has received extensive attention and research. Load balancing must not only ensure that the load between back-end servers is equal, but also correctly allocate requests for the same session in scenarios that require session retention. to the corresponding backend server to ensure that the session between the client and the backend server is not lost.
[0003] LVS (Linux Virtual Server, Linux Virtual Server) is an open source load balancing technology. By inserting the call method at the detection point (HOOK) point of Netfilter (Network Screening System), the IP (Internet Protocol, the protocol for interconnection between networks) ) layer realizes the transparent forwarding of data packets. LVS m...
