We have simple load balancing requirements and the Local Director has worked great for our applications. 0 down time in years. But as its support is ending I'm finally migrating to CSS. I am looking for a document that compares the LDIR with the CSS as to how each achieves their load balancing.
Example LDIR:
virtual 10.1.1.60:80:0:tcp is
real 10.1.1.51:8443:0:tcp is
real 10.1.1.51:8443:0:tcp is
bind 10.1.1.60:443:0:tcp 10.1.1.51:8443:0:tcp
bind 10.1.1.60:443:0:tcp 10.1.1.52:8443:0:tcp
Example Local Director config
service web1
keepalive port 8443
protocol tcp
ip address 10.1.1.51
keepalive type tcp
port 8443
active
service web2
keepalive port 8443
protocol tcp
ip address 10.1.1.52
keepalive type tcp
port 8443
active
content myvirtual:443
add service web1
add service web2
balance aca
advanced-balance ssl
redundancy-l4-stateless
vip address 10.1.1.60
protocol tcp
port 443
active
Any comments on how the two devices LDIR and CSS would vary in how they accomplish the same goal would be appreciated. Of if you know of a white paper that contrasts these - that's cool too. Thanks.
