hi I have been hunting for a problem definition for my b.e. project. Well, the search has been narrowed down to Web Server Clustering.
[snip] dude.... this thread is an old 1. But since i layed my eyes on it just now.....let me throw some light on this 1.
Wat u r mentionin abt LVS is basically load balancing. Though in lay man terms u can call it web server clustering..in the right technical perspective it's basically load balancing.
AFAIk......there r many load balancing alogos avaiilable out there........rangin from
--> simple dns round robin to.... --> Virtual Server via NAT --> Virtual Server via IP Tunneling --> Virtual Server via Direct Routing
U should really check the NAT nd IP tunneling algos...efficient way of gettin thingz done. I haven;t done ny benchmarkin though. But Even load balancing(clusterin of web servers) has a major prob....... creatin redundancy at the Load balancer in case of ur the main web server load balancer goin down...
Would luv to help u with the proj....If ur keen on takin it up just let me know.

I've seen the stuff at www.linuxvirtualserver.org and at lcic.org, But haven't been able to find a precise problem. Has anybody on the list worked in that area??? If yes could you direct me or suggest a few problem defn.s fit for us at b.e. level?? ciao abhijeet _______________________________________________ http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
