lvs(linux virtual server)
簡介:軟體四層交換。lvs是在linux核心中作四層交換,隻花128個位元組記錄一個連接配接資訊,不涉及到檔案句柄操作,故沒有65535最大檔案句柄數的限制。lvs性能很高,可以支援100~400萬條并發連接配接。
價格:免費、開源
l7sw(layer7 switching)
簡介:軟體七層交換。這是一款類似lvs的新負載均衡軟體,我沒有實際應用過,性能未知,是以不作評價。這是它的英文介紹:layer7 switching is driving a low-level engine using networking design to speed-up forwarding of data stream. implementation in this project is split into a userspace daemon and a low-level kernelspace forwarding engine. userspace daemon is responsible for scheduling and switching decisions. kernelspace forwarding engine is responsible for forwarding stream and using tcp-splicing scheme. tcp-splicing is the postponement of the connection between the client and the server in order to obtain sufficient information to make a routing decision. this project is close to linux virtual server project since lot of discusions on this topics have been made online and offline lvs project.
haproxy
簡介:軟體七層交換,反向代理伺服器。目前還不支援虛拟主機,但其配置簡單,擁有非常不錯的伺服器健康檢查功能,當其代理的後端伺服器出現故 障,haproxy會自動将該伺服器摘除,故障恢複後再自動将該伺服器加入。另外,haproxy還支援雙機熱備。我曾經用過一段時間,能支援2~3萬條 并發連接配接。現在我用它做普通的小并發負載均衡,主要用到的是它的伺服器健康檢查功能。
nginx
簡介:軟體七層交換,反向代理伺服器。能夠很好地支援虛拟主機,可配置性很強,可以按url做負載均衡。我目前一直在用,大約能支援3~5萬條并發連接配接。
