ipvs: Add simple weighted failover scheduler
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Add simple weighted IPVS failover support to the Linux kernel. All
other scheduling modules implement some form of load balancing, while
this offers a simple failover solution. Connections are directed to
the appropriate server based solely on highest weight value and server
availability. Tested functionality with keepalived.

The weighted failover scheduling algorithm directs network
connections to the server with the highest weight that is
currently available.
