Links

Linux virtual server related links

• Piranha is the clustering product from Red Hat Inc., it includes the LVS kernel code, a GUI-based cluster configuration tool and cluster monitoring tool.
• Ultra Monkey is a complete open source server farm solution for linux, providing high availability and load balancing.
• Keepalived implements a framework of LVS cluster monitoring based on three family checks: Layer3, Layer4 & Layer5.
• The High-Availability Linux Project, the home of heartbeat code and a good collection of Linux HA resources on the Internet.
• The Linux Network Address Translation project, a good collection of Linux NAT resources on the Internet.
• The mon, a general resource monitoring daemon written in Perl.
• Fake, the redundant server switch software home page.
• EDDIE: A Robust and Scalable Internet Server, which uses DNS-based and application-level load balancing approaches.
• Super Sparrow, is to balance traffic among geographically distributed points by finding the site close to clients based on BGP routing information.

Storage links

• Lustre, a next-generation cluster file system which can serve clusters with 10,000's of nodes, petabytes of storage, move 100's of GB/sec with state of the art security and management infrastructure.
• Coda File System, a distributed and fault-tolerant filesystem from CMU.
• Intermezzo, a lightweight efficient distributed filesystem and a complete redesign under the inspiration of Coda.
• GFS - the Global Filesystem, an efficient distributed and fault-tolerant filesystem with the cool dlock implementation (hardware related).

Single-system scalability links

• The Linux Scalability project, is to optimize a single-system to support greater load of network services.
• JAWS: Understanding High Performance Web Systems, is to build a high performance web system under high-speed ATM networks.

Commercial Links

• IBM eNetwork Dispatcher (formerly known as Interactive Network Dispatcher), brings scalability, availability, and performance to your Web site. Expensive solutions!
• Cisco LocalDirector uses the NAT approach.
• Alteon ACEDirector uses the NAT approach, a box with two MIPS RISC processors and some special designed ASIC curcuits.
• F5 Big/IP uses the NAT approach too.

Network Protocol Links

• The lksctp project is an implementation of the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) in the Linux kernel.
• IPv6 is the "next generation" protocol designed by the IETF to replace IPv4, more information can be found at the IPv6 information page
