Bug 15706 – This is the ebuild for Keepalived.

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Brett Simpson 2003-02-14 12:24:20 UTC]

The main goal of the keepalived project is to add a strong & robust keepalive facility to the 
Linux Virtual Server project. This project is written in C with multilayer TCP/IP stack checks. 
Keepalived implements a framework based on three family checks : Layer3, Layer4 & Layer5. 
This framework gives the daemon the ability of checking a LVS server pool states. When one of 
the server of the LVS server pool is down, keepalived informs the linux kernel via a setsockopt 
call to remove this server entrie from the LVS topology. In addition keepalived implements a 
VRRPv2 stack to handle director failover. So in short keepalived is a userspace daemon for LVS 
cluster nodes healthchecks and LVS directors failover.
