I heard rumor that Cisco was considering including LD capability in the 6509 MSN router module?
Stephen Sprunk: Friday, July 07, 2000 5:46 PM If you are using a LocalDirector with a Cat6k switch, you can enable the Accelerated Server Load Balancing feature. This allows the
Cat6k to
forward the bulk of the flow (at wire speed), and lets the LD
focus
exclusively on the connection setup/teardown functions.

They doabout 180mbps over3 locations and were running performance problems. (They
ended up
moving toF5's). One of Exodus's Senior Network Engineers has seen
that
consistenlybecome problematic at about the magic 80mbps you mentioned.
I spoke
with afew different neteng buddies when we started looking at LB's
over a
year agoand they all told me to stay away from the LD's. But likeall of us, theyget better as they stay around longer... Probably, it's the same with all LB products ... you haveto match the rightproducts with your needs. Me, I have to go for the bigscale. So I'llsacrifice features for ability to consistently handle thetraffic andscalability. I eliminated quite a few simply because they
couldn't
handlethe volume, but that doesn't mean that they would work wellfor a sitelocated in one of the big data centers. -Karyn
