Flow based Load Balancer
Hello everyone,
I want to create a flow-based load balancer.
Which elements should I use to be able to implement this functionality?
Thank you
IPRewriter, like a NAT, with something like RoundRobinIPMapper for pattern
Hello @tbarbette thank you for your response.
Sorry for the late reply.
To be more precise, I would like to implement something like ECMP protocol. I don't know if this can be done with Click.
In my example, the VNF1 and VNF2 are simply forwarding the traffic to sink.
Thank you!
Remember ECMP is per-packet, so you would break flows and VNFs would see part of multiple flows, so they can't run NAT etc. But if you don't want something flow-aware, then you can simply use RoundRobinSwitch that will forward packets in a RR fashion.
To be flow-aware, but independent of load, you have HashSwitch. To do RoundRobin you need the aforementioned solution.

Hello Tom,
Today I saw the RoundRobinSwitch element, thank you for the confirmation.
So I can have:
in1::FromDevice()
in2:FromeDevice()
out::ToDevice
out1::ToDevice
lb::RoundRobinSwitch
And the inputs of the lb will be the in1 and in2 (after they passed from IPClassifier, etc..)
Am I right?

Hello , I also want to create a per-packet load balancer, but it was a little difficult for me to implement it ,can you share the .click file? Thank you very much in advance. my email is [email protected]
