Set up LVS connection sync
Open, MediumPublic

Description

LVS has the ability to multicast-sync connection states: http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/docs/sync.html , and if we used it, it would cut down on connection loss during LVS failover events (which are currently required even for e.g. pybal config changes).

  1. Ensure it actually works for us
  2. Assign multicast IPs to separate out traffic clusters (e.g. high-traffic1 vs low-traffic) and DCs
  3. Deploy slowly by-cluster/dc, check for: works functionally, whether there's any perf loss to the overhead, how big the multicast traffic rate is, etc.

The swap of Traffic for Traffic-Icebox in this ticket's set of tags was based on a bulk action for all such tickets that haven't been updated in 6 months or more. This does not imply any human judgement about the validity or importance of the task, and is simply the first step in a larger task cleanup effort. Further manual triage and/or requests for updates will happen this month for all such tickets. For more detail, have a look at the extended explanation on the main page of Traffic-Icebox . Thank you!
