In linux kernel since version 4.2 (release Date: 2015-08-30)
The maglev consistent hashing scheduling algorithm provides the
Google's Maglev hashing algorithm as a IPVS scheduler. It assigns
network connections to the servers through looking up a statically
assigned special hash table called the lookup table. Maglev hashing
is to assign a preference list of all the lookup table positions
to each destination.
Through this operation, The maglev hashing gives an almost equal
share of the lookup table to each of the destinations and provides
minimal disruption by using the lookup table. When the set of
destinations changes, a connection will likely be sent to the same
destination as it was before.
If you want to compile it in kernel, say Y. To compile it as a
module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
