This is a pure-python TCP load balancer. It takes inbound TCP connections and
|
|
connects them to one of a number of backend servers.
|
|
|
|
Features:
|
|
- async i/o based, so much less overhead than fork/thread based balancers. Can
|
|
use either twisted or python's standard asyncore library (twisted is
|
|
recommended, and asyncore support will be removed in a future version).
|
|
- Multiple scheduling algorithms (random, round robin, leastconns,
|
|
leastconns+roundrobin)
|
|
- If a server fails to answer, it's removed from the pool - the client that
|
|
failed to connect gets transparently failed over to a new host.
|
|
- xml based configuration file (see a sample)
|
|
- seperate management thread that periodically re-adds failed hosts if they've
|
|
come back up.
|
|
- optional builtin webserver for admin (sample of the running screen)
|
|
- webserver has methods suitable for both interactive and automated systems
