80 ServerIron ADX Advanced Server Load Balancing Guide
53-1002435-01
Traffic Distribution based on Cache Server Capacity
2
Traffic Distribution based on Cache Server Capacity
This feature allows you to use SNMP to monitor the load on cache servers and load-balance the
cache servers using that information. For this feature to operate, the cache server must run an
SNMP agent and support MIBs that can be queried by the SNMP manager software on the
ServerIron ADX.
The following specifications currently exist for this feature:
Only HTTP traffic on port 80 is currently supported
This feature is not supported for CSW in a TCL environment
The default cache server state is set to OFFLINE. If an out-of-range SNMP MIB value is
received, the cache server state is set to the default state (OFFLINE).
Only SNMPv2 is currently supported
This feature operates by performing queries to cache server states that are held in the SNMP agent
on the cache server. The ServerIron ADX then uses the cache server state obtained from the query
to determine the load balancing action to take as described in Table 6.
TABLE 6 Load balancing action as determined by cache server state
Cache Server States ServerIron ADX load balancing action
UNDERUSED (1):
Cache is operating normally with low resource
utilization
For UNDERUSED (1) or NORMAL (2) or BURDENED (3) the
action is the same:
The ServerIron ADX will allow new connections to these
cache servers and will also forward connections that were
originally hashed to other stressed cache servers to these
cache servers.
NORMAL (2):
Cache is operating normally with no resource
constraints
BURDENED (3):
Cache is operating normally but nearing
resource constraints.
STRESSED (4):
Cache has reached its effective capacity limit
and cannot stably handle additional load.
For STRESSED (4) the action is:
The ServerIron ADX will not allow new connections to
these cache servers if other under used or normal cache
servers are available. If no under used or normal cache
servers are available, ServerIron ADX will continue to use
these cache servers.
OVERTAXED (5):
Cache load has exceeded its maximum
sustainable capacity and should be decreased.
For OVERTAXED (5) or OVERLOADED (6) the action is the
same:
The ServerIron ADX will not allow new connections to
these cache servers but will continue servicing existing
connections. Any new connections will instead be
forwarded to the under used and normal cache servers.
OVERLOADED (6):
Cache load has reached an unsustainable level
and must be decreased immediately.
HALTING (7):
Cache is in the process of shutting down.
The ServerIron ADX will neither allow any new connections
nor continue servicing existing connections on these
cache servers. Any new connections will instead be
forwarded to the under used and normal cache servers.
