TCPfork is a userland TCP proxy with advanced load balancing capabilities. Its core features are the ability to load balance on a "least connection" basis and the ability to take the machine load into account ("least load" or "least resource" load balancing). This is implemented by using the bngagent UDP protocol. It performs "TCP open" health checks by default and allows the use of external health check scripts. TCPfork 2.x introduces a highly optimized multithreading connection scheduler, allowing fast processing of high numbers of concurrent connections.  [edit]  Less
