Load balancing

[darkemon]

Hi guys!
There is ARP balancing on FreeBSD 10 in kernel or userland?

For failover via ARP replies for a shared IP see carp(4). Can you give an example of something that does actual load balancing with ARP?

 

[darkemon]

Yes, iI know about CARP. It supported arp balancing, but since FreeBSD 10 arp balancing was removed. I mean load balancing like Cisco GLBP.

 

[junovitch@]

OK. That is helpful having an example. With GLBP being Cisco proprietary there would be no direct port of that. CARP along with the net/freevrrpd in ports are only for fail-over based redundancy.

 

[darkemon]

It's sadly. Thanks!
