About:
The Linux Virtual Server Project is a project to cluster many real servers together into a highly available, high-performance virtual server. The LVS load balancer handles connections from clients and passes them on the the real servers (so-called Layer 4 switching) and can virtualize almost any TCP or UDP service, like HTTP, HTTPS, NNTP, FTP, DNS, ssh, POP3, IMAP4, SMTP, etc. It is fully transparent to the client accessing the virtual service.

Release focus: Minor feature enhancements

Changes:
Additional hash functions were included for IPVS connection entries to prevent hash attacks. The maximum value of the connection threshold was changed from 65535 to INT_MAX (2147483647), the default syncid was changed from 255 to 0, and ip_vs_sync.c was updated for Linux kernel 2.5.74. Some code was also tidied up.
