Where is the industry headed?
“Specialized software will replace specialized hardware throughout
the datacenter.
“What server virtualization via hypervisors did for computing, new methods
of virtualization and Software defined networks are doing at every other
layer of IT stack. Software-defined data centers are coming, and they’ll
redefine infrastructure for the next generation of applications.”

Content-based Routing – L7/URL Load Balancing
 Why?
• Web site consists of several applications
• Use optimal server for specific content
• Virtual hosting
 Basics
• Use file extensions
GET
/service.asp GET
/index.html
» .html, .css, .asp, .jsp, etc.
GET
/servlet.jsp
• Use path information
» /images, /app1, /app2, etc.
• Use host information
» www.site1.com,
www.site2.com, etc.

Redundancy and scaling
 Why?
• ADC redundancy and scaling = Service
redundancy and scaling
 Basics
• Beyond single ADC = Always cluster
» Active/Passive, Active/Active
and n+1
• Active/Passive
» Single Traffic IP per service
• Active/Active and n+1
» Single-hosted Traffic IP
» Multi-hosted Traffic IP

IPv6 support
 Why?
• ISP’s are starting to provide IPv6 based
Internet services
• Enterprises are starting to use IPv6 on
parts of their internal network
IPv
4
 Basics
IPv
4
• Virtual servers listen on IPv4 or IPv6
• Server pool can be a mixture of IPv4 and
IPv6
» Native IPv4 or IPv6
» NAT 46 or NAT 64

HTTP multiplexing
 Why?
• Offload TCP processing from server
 Basics
• Utilize the difference between LAN vs.
WAN latency
• Multiplex ratios 1000:1 not uncommon

Content caching
 Why?
• Offload content delivery from server
• Typically common static objects
 Basics
• Uses memory for object store
» Optional SSD for large volumes
• Honors caching settings from server by
default
» TrafficScript used to override
caching headers from server

Two different types of load balancer / ADC
Layer 4 Load Balancers
Layer 7 App. Delivery Controllers
L4 Strengths:
L7 Strengths:
 Load-balancing transparent devices e.g.
firewalls, proxy servers
 Simple, high-volume media serving
 Load-balancing server applications
 Application Acceleration
 Complex services
Customer requirements:
Customer requirements:
 Needs are dominated by layer-2/4
requirements
 Replacement programs driven by ‘we
want a faster box’
 Cannot answer
“Where is your application?”
 Virtualization or Cloud transitions
 Replacement programs driven by
‘we need something smarter’
 Integration of complex applications
e.g. acquisition
 Augment existing layer 4 devices
