- Linux Virtual Server
Linux Virtual Server (LVS) is an advanced load balancing solution for
Linux systems. It is anopen source project started by Wensong Zhang in May1998 . The mission of the project is to build a high-performance and highly available server for Linux using clustering technology, which provides good scalability, reliability and serviceability.The major work of the LVS project is now to develop advanced IP load balancing software (IPVS), application-level load balancing software (KTCPVS), and cluster management components.
* [http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/software/ipvs.html IPVS] : is an advanced IP load balancing software implemented inside the Linux kernel. The
IP Virtual Server code was already included into the standard Linux kernel 2.4 and 2.6.
* [http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/software/ktcpvs/ktcpvs.html KTCPVS] : implements application-level load balancing inside the Linux kernel, currently under development.Users can use the LVS solutions to build highly scalable and highly available network services, such as web, email, media services and
VoIP services, and integrate scalable network services into large-scale reliablee-commerce ore-government applications.The LVS solutions have already been deployed in many real applications throughout the world, including Wikipedia.
