There are a couple of problems with trying to figure out what's going on. o LVS UDP has problems (see the HOWTO). AFAIK there isn't a test for high throughput single port UDP that we can use to check that UDP load balancing is working. ntp was used as a test in the early days, but the packet throughput is designed to be low. I don't know if your UDP test qualifies (it might, but you don't say so). Is your UDP test a single port send-reply system? If not should be easy enough to write a pair of programs in perl that are a udp ping-echo pair. o no-one has SIP working on LVS, although people like yourself are putting some effort into it. So at the moment it's hard to test LVS for its ability to load balance SIP when we don't know that it's load balancing UDP. > It's seems that LVS doesn't increase InActConn anymore, > and, in SIPp, only the first calls are correctly routed, > all others finished as timeout. When there are problems with UDP, won't there be a whole lot of ports tied up on the UDP server with packets that haven't found anywhere to go?
