Project Proposal for Solaris Layer 3/4 loadbalancing

Folks,

I am proposing a project called Integrated Load Balancer (ILB) to
provide basic Layer 3/4 load balancing features in Solaris consisting of
DSR and NAT operation modes.

The feature components of the project will be as follows:

o Direct Server Return(DSR) operation mode

o NAT based operation mode (half-NAT and full-NAT). We will
use IP Filter's NAT implementation for this purpose

o VRRP to provide HA between loadbalancers

o A commandline interface that will be used to configure
both NAT and DSR operation modes. The interface will be made available
for 3rd party apps to consume

o Simple L3/L4 server health checks that allows the load balancer
to monitor the back-end servers

The provision of such a feature will allow a SPARC or x86 box running
Solaris to serve as a mid-range L3/L4 loadbalancer.

I am requesting endorsement for this project.

Sangeeta

is the VRRP implementation tied tightly to the load balancer code or
will it be usable as-is?

It will be usable as a standalone.
