Usually "raw sockets" are used in C language to develop code directly over IP instead of using UDP/TCP based sockets. A VIP listening on destination IP address without looking to the protocol field of the IP header should work.

Any more specifics on the protocol?  What’s the
connection setup, flow and teardown.  What’s the payload format?

Subject: [load balancing] Raw socket based load balancing 





   



  





We are currently using a
pound/haproxy combination to load balancing incoming http/https connections. 





  





We however have an upcoming requirement to
load balance incoming raw socket connections with a proprietary protocol. I
don't think pound/haproxy will work for this since they are proxy servers and
is therefore drive by standard protocols. 





  





Does anyone have any other recommendations on
what open source load balancing apps we could use?  We may require session
persistence as well (yet to be determined). 





  





Regards,
