Detailed Description

Load balancing service is provided per VIP+protocol+port.

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.

as_indexes

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 332 of file lb.h.

encap_args

lb_vip_encap_args_t lb_vip_t::encap_args

Definition at line 316 of file lb.h.

flags

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 325 of file lb.h.

last_garbage_collection

u32 lb_vip_t::last_garbage_collection

Last time garbage collection was run to free the ASs.

Definition at line 281 of file lb.h.

new_flow_table

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 270 of file lb.h.

new_flow_table_mask

u32 lb_vip_t::new_flow_table_mask

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

Definition at line 276 of file lb.h.

plen

u8 lb_vip_t::plen

The VIP prefix length.

In case of IPv4, plen = 96 + ip4_plen.

Definition at line 298 of file lb.h.

port

u16 lb_vip_t::port

Definition at line 304 of file lb.h.

prefix

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 292 of file lb.h.

protocol

u8 lb_vip_t::protocol

Definition at line 301 of file lb.h.

type

lb_vip_type_t lb_vip_t::type

The type of traffic for this.

LB_TYPE_UNDEFINED if unknown.

Definition at line 313 of file lb.h.

vip_prefix_index

u32 lb_vip_t::vip_prefix_index

Definition at line 307 of file lb.h.
