  Description     : simple TCP connection load balancer

glb is a simple TCP connection balancer made with scalability and
performance in mind. It was inspired by pen, but unlike pen its
functionality is limited only to balancing generic TCP connections.

Features:
  - list of backend servers is configurable in runtime.
  - supports server "draining", i.e. does not allocate new connections
    to server, but does not kill existing ones, waiting for them to end
    gracefully.
  - can use epoll API provided by Linux version 2.6 and higher
    for ultimate routing performance.
  - glb is multithreaded, so it can utilize multiple CPU cores.
