- bedis9 9y agoand also that LVS does it well in kernel!
- phil21 9y agoAs someone who puts this as a "want" and certainly not a "need" - the answer is really just management simplicity. That and HAProxy is generally a joy to work with. I already have a nice anycasted cluster of HAProxy servers that already have the battle tested BGP session teardown logic/etc. integrated - I really don't want to have to use a different load balancing method to HA my UDP services and re-do large portions of that tooling. It's certainly an annoyance, and being able to define traffic in the same configuration file/syntax/etc. makes it much more maintainable for an ops vs. engineering group.
- jsmeaton 9y agoFair comment - but I'm not using HAProxy anymore at my current job, so my use case has passed (for now).
