- vbernat 8y agoThis is similar but not totally. Linux has an open source version of Maglev as a scheduler for LVS since 4.18 (to be released). GLB uses a specific consistent hashing algorithm selecting two servers and a module to let the first server redirect the flow to the second in case it doesn't know about it. This helps minimize disruption even more than with Maglev.
