17 * lb-plugin implements a MagLev-like load balancer.
18 * http://research.google.com/pubs/pub44824.html
20 * It hasn't been tested for interoperability with the original MagLev
21 * but intends to provide similar functionality.
22 * The load-balancer receives traffic destined to VIP (Virtual IP)
23 * addresses from one or multiple(ECMP) routers.
24 * The load-balancer tunnels the traffic toward many application servers
25 * ensuring session stickyness (i.e. that a single sessions is tunneled
26 * towards a single application server).

45 * Each VIP is configured with a set of
50 * Destination address used to tunnel traffic towards
51 * that application server.
52 * The address is also used as ID and pseudo-random
53 * seed for the load-balancing process.

73 * Rotating timestamp of when LB_AS_FLAGS_USED flag was last set.
75 * AS removal is based on garbage collection and reference counting.
76 * When an AS is removed, there is a race between configuration core
77 * and worker cores which may still add a reference while it should not
78 * be used. This timestamp is used to not remove the AS while a race condition

119 * But load balancing only

121 * reuses the same port for multiple destinations within the same VIP,
122 * they will be considered as a single flow.
