Enhance Features and Performance of a Linux-based Content Switch

In this paper we discuss the problems encountered in the development of a Linux LVS-based content switch and present their solutions. A pre-allocate server scheme is proposed to improve the TCP delayed binding bottleneck, and performance of its implementation is presented. The content switch rule syntax is extended to allow the extraction of specific tag values in the XML requests.
