Description : Keepalived provides simple and robust facilities for load balancing
: and high availability to Linux system and Linux based infrastructures.
: The load balancing framework relies on well-known and widely used
: Linux Virtual Server (IPVS) kernel module providing Layer4 load
: balancing. Keepalived implements a set of checkers to dynamically and
: adaptively maintain and manage load-balanced server pool according
: their health. High availability is achieved by VRRP protocol. VRRP is
: a fundamental brick for router failover. In addition, keepalived
: implements a set of hooks to the VRRP finite state machine providing
: low-level and high-speed protocol interactions. Keepalived frameworks
: can be used independently or all together to provide resilient
: infrastructures.
