Description : Implementation of the IETF's Reliable Server Pooling (RSerPool) 
framework defined in RFCs 5351 to 5356.

RSPLIB is the Open Source implementation (GPLv3) of the IETF's framework for 
Reliable Server Pooling (RSerPool). RSerPool is a framework for server pool 
management and access. It is an IETF standard, which has been developed by
the IETF RSerPool Working Group and documented in RFC 5351 to RFC 5356. From
the programmer's perspective, a pool is mainly seen as a highly available
server. RSerPool realizes a Session Layer in the OSI model. The API to
access this Session Layer is very similar to TCP/IP socket programming, so
using RSerPool functionalities in own programs is quite easy. If you are
looking for a simple-to-use workload distribution system including failover
capabilities, but without the overhead and configuration effort of GRID
computing, RSPLIB is probably what you are looking for! A lot of documents
on RSerPool and RSPLIB can be found on the project homepage at:
http://tdrwww.iem.uni-due.de/dreibholz/rserpool/ .

RSPLIB is already included in Ubuntu since Intrepid Ibex. Therefore, I
would like to add it to Debian, too.
