This particular approach can't work, because all packets for a given connection or stream need to end up at the same server. If fragments go to one server, but fully-formed IP packets for the same connection go to a different server, then the stream of communication is broken. One approach might be to have the load balancer maintain enough reassembly state to be able to apply whatever hashing heuristic is applied to other packets. -Seb _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
