Description-en: Linux Virtual Server support programs
The Linux Virtual Server (lvs or IPVS) is a highly scalable and highly
available server built on a cluster of real servers. The architecture of the
cluster is transparent to end users, and the users see only a single virtual
server.
.
This package provides some support programs necessary to implement a virtual
server under Linux. With the addition of the mon and heartbeat packages it is
possible to implement a complete high-availability solution for Linux.
