---------------------------------------
Summary: Implement Additional Load Balancing Algorithms
Key: GUACAMOLE-322
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-322
Project: Guacamole
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: guacamole-client
Affects Versions: 0.9.12-incubating
Reporter: Nick Couchman
Assignee: Nick Couchman
Priority: Minor
Now that the connection_weight field has been added, it makes sense to build
out support for additional load balancing algorithms for the BALANCING
connection group and allow users to choose which algorithm to use.
Guacamole currently supports Weighted Least Connection (and Least Connection,
when weights are undefined or are equal). I propose adding support for the
following:
- Round Robin
- Weighted Round Robin
- Least Recently Used
- Weighted Least Recently Used
For (Weighted) Round Robin, the plan would be to look at all the connections in
a group, order them by their id, and then have a DB field keep track of either
the last one used or the next one to use (opinions?).
For (Weighted) Least Recently Used, it should be relatively easy to look at the
connection history table and grab the oldest start_date field for a list of
connections in the group, then calculate out from there.
