LVS IPVS负载均衡机制详解

 

IPVS的负载均衡机制有三种：

         Virtual Server via NAT

         Virtual Server via IP Tunneling

         Virtual Server via Direct Routing

 

1、  NAT

NAT(网络地址转换):直接篡改数据包的源/目的地址。

 

Packet rewriting works as follows.

 

The incoming packet for web service would has source and destination addresses as:

 

SOURCE 202.100.1.2:3456 DEST 202.103.106.5:80

The load balancer will choose a real server, e.g. 172.16.0.3:8000. The packet would be rewritten and forwarded to the server as:

 

SOURCE 202.100.1.2:3456 DEST 172.16.0.3:8000

Replies get back to the load balancer as:

 

SOURCE 172.16.0.3:8000 DEST 202.100.1.2:3456

The packets would be written back to the virtual server address and returned to the client as:

 

SOURCE 202.103.106.5:80 DEST 202.100.1.2:3456

 

 

 

2、  IP Tunneling

IP Tunneling(IP隧道):在原数据包上封装一层IP地址，让私有网络的数据可以在公网上传输。(VPN就是这么实现的)

 

3、  Direct Routing

Direct Route(直接路由):通过Mac地址广播。

LoadBalance服务器和所有后端服务器必须在同一网段，要能够进行Mac广播。
