RE: Data Piping



Hi friends,

there ae a lot of load-balancer outside. All of them have probelems in some
listed points below:
- graceful dead (can I shutdown a server without distrubing my users?)
- amount of concurrent sessions
- is the balancer itself redundant
- when redundant : failover time
- are there sticky ports (if there is a http-connection and additional
sound, will both be forwarded to the same server ?)
- cookies
- https (ssl traffic)
- throughput

of course, as you can see I'm an enterasys employee and we have some
loadbalancers. And of course, nothing is perfect! 

something I would keep in mind is always a clean design with powerful
options for taking some traces. If you do not know the way your packets are
going (or balanced) it is difficult to find those which are lost ...

Hello,

Now this *is* an interesting motivation.

Ben.
