Miles Libbey updated TS-5048: ----------------------------- Issue Type: Improvement (was: Bug) > parent.config: add weighting to other selection strategies > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: TS-5048 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-5048 > Project: Traffic Server > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Parent Proxy > Reporter: Miles Libbey > > The consistent_hash selection strategy allows for a weighting of the parents. > So, a config like, > parent="p1.x.com:80|2,p2.x.com:80|1" round_robin=consistent_hash > would have p1 placed in the ring twice as many times as p1, and thus should > received 2x more URIs as p1. (Note that traffic associated with URIs can vary > considerably, so this weighting can be randomly associated with traffic > levels). > This weighting should be extended to the round robin selection strategies > (strict|true)-- weighted round robin is a common load balancing strategy. In > these cases, the weightings would likely cause selection to cycle amongst the > parents such that each target would roughly end up with N/(sum of Ns) % of > the total traffic. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
