Detailed Description

Load balancing service is provided per VIP.

In this data model, a VIP can be a whole prefix. But load balancing only occurs on a per-source-address/port basis. Meaning that if a given source reuses the same port for multiple destinations within the same VIP, they will be considered as a single flow.

Field Documentation

u32* lb_vip_t::as_indexes

Pool of AS indexes used for this VIP.

This also includes ASs that have been removed (but are still referenced).

Definition at line 227 of file lb.h.

u8 lb_vip_t::dscp

DSCP bits for L3DSR.

Definition at line 211 of file lb.h.

u8 lb_vip_t::flags

Flags related to this VIP.

LB_VIP_FLAGS_USED means the VIP is active. When it is not set, the VIP in the process of being removed. We cannot immediately remove a VIP because the VIP index still may be stored in the adjacency index.

Definition at line 220 of file lb.h.

u32 lb_vip_t::last_garbage_collection

Last time garbage collection was run to free the ASs.

Definition at line 183 of file lb.h.

lb_new_flow_entry_t* lb_vip_t::new_flow_table

Vector mapping (flow-hash & new_connect_table_mask) to AS index.

This is used for new flows.

Definition at line 172 of file lb.h.

u32 lb_vip_t::new_flow_table_mask

New flows table length - 1 (length MUST be a power of 2)

Definition at line 178 of file lb.h.

u8 lb_vip_t::plen

The VIP prefix length.

In case of IPv4, plen = 96 + ip4_plen.

Definition at line 200 of file lb.h.

ip46_address_t lb_vip_t::prefix

A Virtual IP represents a given service delivered by a set of application servers.

It can be a single address or a prefix. IPv4 prefixes are encoded using IPv4-in-IPv6 embedded address (i.e. ::/96 prefix).

Definition at line 194 of file lb.h.

lb_vip_type_t lb_vip_t::type

The type of traffic for this.

LB_TYPE_UNDEFINED if unknown.

Definition at line 206 of file lb.h.
