How does load-balancing with WebCache work - is there still a bottleneck?

Hello,
We're migrating an old Forms 6i app to 10.1.2.0.2 (apps servers = Redhat Linux), and are starting to consider using WebCache to loadbalance between two application servers.
My question is this - say we have apps servers A and B, both running Forms and Reports Services. We use Webcache on server A (don't have the luxury of a third apps server...) to load balance between A and B. So all initial requests come into A, which in some cases may then be diverted to start a new Forms session on B.
For those users whose middle-tier sessions are now running on B - will all network traffic for their Forms session continue to be routed through Webcache on A, then to B, over the course of the session? Or does Webcache somehow shunt the whole connection to be straight between the client PC and server B, for the duration of that Forms session?
If the former, does that mean that the server hosting Webcache can still be a significant bottleneck for network traffic? Have people found load-balancing with Webcache to be useful..?
Thanks in advance,
James

  • Question on how does load balancing work on Firewall Services Module (FWSM)

    Hi everyone,
    I have a question about the algorithm of load balancing on Firewall Services Module (FWSM).
    I understand that the FWSM supports up to three equal cost routes on the same interface for load balancing.
    Please see a lower simple figure.
    outside inside
    --- L3 SW --+
    |
    MHSRP +--- FWSM ----
    |
    --- L3 SW --+
    I am going to configure the following default routes on FWSM point to each MHSRP VIP (192.168.13.29 and 192.168.13.30) for load balancing.
    route outside_1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.13.29 1
    route outside_1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.13.30 1      
    However I don't know how load balancing work on FWSM.
    On FWSM, load balancing work based on
    Per-Destination ?
    Per-Source ?
    Per-Packet ?
    or
    Other criteria ?
    Your information would be greatly appreciated.
    Best Regards,

    Configuring "tunnel default gateway' on the concentrator allowed traffic to flow as desired through the FWSM.
    FWSM is not capable of performing policy based routing, the additional static routes for the VPN load balancing caused half of the packets to be lost. As a result, it appears that the VPN concentrators will not be able to load balance.

  • Jdbc urls and when does load balancing and failover work?

    I you use a jdbc url with OracleDriver not OracleDataSource because we use dbcp for our connection pooling. What can we expect by putting in two connection descriptors one for each host when an 11g RAC node goes away?
    I know all about ONS and FCF etc but when you are not using OracleDataSource and friends what benefit is there is having mulitple hosts in the jdbc url?
    What is that recognises the other host in the jdbc url when a RAC node goes away? Is that integral to OracleDataSource or anything outside of OracleDriver?
    right now we only have one HOST = in your jdbc url but I'm not sure how we would benefit by adding the second if we are not using OracleDataSource.

    Best I can suggest - step up and become the expert.
    You are dealing with RAC which most people do not have and do not use (based on postings I have seen) so you already have that advantage.
    The dbcp pool doesn't mean anything since it just acts as a wrapper around the Oracle driver.

  • How does pre-ordering with Apple work?

    For people who have previously pre-ordered with Apple (for an iPad or iPhone) or are familiar with their pre-order process, would you mind explaining the process to me?
    In other words, will their website lag due to an overload of orders? Will everyone be guaranteed an iPhone 4 on the 15th? Is there limited availability? Will they be depleted out of iPhones if I order an hour after?
    I don't care when I get it, but will I be guaranteed one on the pre-order date?
    Thanks!

    What has happened in the past is the pre-order date is when you can place an order for the phone. You will not receive it until at least the 24th (available date). If you want to be one of the first on your block to get one, I'd recommend ordering as early as possible. You will be told the prospective "receive by" date when you order. Historically, those that order early, receive them on the available date. Of course you can also camp out at your local Apple Store (as has become an Apple tradition).
    It is possible there might be a lag during the initial rush, but I doubt it. Apple has figured out how to take orders fairly efficiently

  • How does the connection with ODBC work exactly?

    Hi all,
    I've got an application written in Java that uses a JDBC-ODBC bridge to connect to an Oracle 8.0.5. Then i got another java application(called the bridge from here on) that only routes traffic to another server. Say that I connect to my bridge using sockets and my bridge is located on machine: remotehost port: 4444 and all my bridge does is reading incoming data and routes to machine: oracleserver port: 1521. This works fine. Now i have "fooled" my main application that my oracleserver is located om machine: remotehost port: 4444. So I can connect to it by DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:tns-spec"); And in tns-spec I've stated that my oracleserver is in fact on port 4444. This works fine, but when I exit my bridge program the connection to the database is still there! Why? Does Oracle open a new socket of it's own and contacts my main application directly or what is happening?
    Greatful for an answer is
    Magnus

    Think I've solved the problem, apperently oracle send data back, specifying on which port the data traffic should take. Say I contact Oracle machine remotehost port 1521 then I get a reply back, saying contact, remotehost port XXXX instead...Too bad...

    Unless you enabled Find My iPad on it before it was stolen then there isn't any way to locate it. If you did enable it then you could try locating it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPad disabled on it.
    If it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.
    If it was never registered to your account then it won't appear on your support profile : https://supportprofile.apple.com/
    The only other ways to find it that I know of (apart from on the actual device) are via the packaging, the backup on a computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4061

    This topic has been beat to death, but I did not see a real answer. Here is configuration:
    1) 2 x ASA 5520, running 8.2
    2) Both ASA are in same outside and inside interface broadcast domains – common Ethernet on interfaces
    3) Both ASA are running single context but are active/standby failovers of each other. There are no more ASA’s in the equation. Just these 2. NOTE: this is not a Active/Active failover configuration. This is simply a 1-context active/standby configuration.
    4) I want to share VPN load among two devices and retain active/standby failover functionality. Can I use VPN load balancing feature?
    This sounds trivial, but I cannot find a clear answer (without testing this); and many people are confusing the issue. Here are some examples of confusion. These do not apply to my scenario.
    Active/Active failover is understood to mean only two ASA running multi-contexts. Context 1 is active on ASA1 Context 2 is active on ASA2. They are sharing failover information. Active/Active does not mean two independently configured ASA devices, which do not share failover communication, but do VPN load balancing. It is clear that this latter scenario will work and that both ASA are active, but they are not in the Active/Active configuration definition. Some people are calling VPN load balancing on two unique ASA’s “active/active”, but it is not
    The other confusing thing I have seen is that VPN config guide for VPN load balancing mentions configuring separate IP address pools on the VPN devices, so that clients on ASA1 do not have IP address overlap with clients on ASA2. When you configure ip address pool on active ASA1, this gets replicated to standby ASA2. In other words, you cannot have two unique IP address pools on a ASA Active/Standby cluster. I guess I could draw addresses from external DHCP server, and then do some kind of routing. Perhaps this will work?
    In any case, any experts out there that can answer question? TIA!

    Wow, some good info posted here (both questions and some answers). I'm in a similar situation with a couple of vpn load-balanced pairs... my goal was to get active-standby failover up and running in each pair- then I ran into this thread and saw the first post about the unique IP addr pools (and obviously we can't have unique pools in an active-standby failover rig where the complete config is replicated). So it would seem that these two features are indeed mutually exclusive. Real nice initial post to call this out.
    Now I'm wondering if the ASA could actually handle a single addr pool in an active-standby fo rig- *if* the code supported the exchange of addr pool status between the fo members (so they each would know what addrs have been farmed out from this single pool)? Can I get some feedback from folks on this? If this is viable, then I suppose we could submit a feature request to Cisco... not that this would necessarily be supported anytime soon, but it might be worth a try. And I'm also assuming we might need a vip on the inside int as well (not just on the outside), to properly flip the traffic on both sides if the failover occurs (note we're not currently doing this).
    Finally, if a member fails in a std load-balanced vpn pair (w/o fo disabled), the remaining member must take over traffic hitting the vip addr (full time)... can someone tell me how this works? And when this pair is working normally (with both members up), do the two systems coordinate who owns the vip at any time to load-balance the traffic? Is this basically how their load-balancing scheme works?
    Anyway, pretty cool thread... would really appreciate it if folks could give some feedback on some of the above.
    Thanks much,
    Mike

  • Load balancing with JSP

    Anyone and everyone,
    When configuring load balancing with Weblogic clusters, does load
    balancing take effect for all services or just EJB and RMI? Or another
    way of saying the same thing, can I setup weighted load balancing for
    the JSP engines across 2 weblogic servers.
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    The load-balancing documentation you read describing the different algorithms only applies to RMI stubs (e.g., EJB clients). Please see http://www.weblogic.com/docs51/cluster/concepts.html#1026091 for a description of how load-balancing/clustering works with servlets/JSPs.
    The short answer is that in using servlet clustering, most people want/need/use in-memory replication for HttpSession objects. In WLS 5.1 (and before), in-memory replication requires one or more proxy servers be set-up in front of the cluster. Typically, most people use something like BigIP to load-balance
    across the proxy servers and let the weblogic plug-in for the proxy server handle the routing to the cluster. The plug-in uses round-robin until an HttpSession is established for a user, then it always tries to route to the server where the user's session is located.
    Hope this helps,
    Robert

    I have a quesiton here regarding load balancing with DNS round robin. As of Chapter Adminstration of Clustering Weblogic server, Weblogic can be configured to balance by weight. How about Weblogic handle weight based balancing after DNS round robin ip response? or just can choose one way instead of both?
    What's the big difference between choosing BigIP and software balancing (WL)?

    My 2 cents.

    This should be achieved in Unix environment.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,

    *Points will be rewarded for helpful suggestions

    We use F5 for loadbalancing, but all hardware loadbalancing solutions should similar. They offer multiple algorithms, we use simple round robin (SAP's webdispatcher has better options for load balancing). You create virtual IP to your CISCO loadbalancer. You then configure Cisco to route traffic to each portal application server. If you have CI + 2 appservers, you configure the loadbalancer to send traffic to cihost:port, appserver1:port, appserver2:port. You also create a DNS alias to the virtual IP of the loadbalancer. End users will use the DNS alias to connect your portal. Typically you use standard ports (80 & 443) on Cisco, so that end user URL does not contain any ports (so http traffic goes to port 80, https goes to port 443). You also need to enable cookie persistence on the load balancer for session persistence.
    For external facing portal, you need to have your loadbalancer in DMZ and you want to use SSL. You also need to setup firewall rules for your portal and backend servers.

  • CSS Load Balancing with Cookies

    We are trying to load balance 2 backend servers hosted on Websphere with advance balance cookies method.
    Restrictions
    ServerA is unable to accept cookies generated from ServerB.
    ServerA and ServerB are generating random cookies
    Unable to modify cookie string with a constant.
    How can we load balance based on cookies considering the above restrictions?
    We have attempted to do hash based load balancing with cookies but the problem we run into is the servers do not accept cookies generated from another server.
    The configuration we tried is written below:
    service ServerA
    ip address 192.168.10.2
    keepalive type tcp
    keepalive port 80
    active
    service ServerB
    ip address 192.168.20.2
    keepalive type tcp
    keepalive port 80
    active
    content ABC
    url "/*"
    add service ServerA
    string prefix "JSESSIONID="
    advanced-balance cookies
    port 80
    add service ServerB
    string skip-length 5
    string process-length 16
    string operation hash-xor
    protocol tcp
    vip address 172.16.32.1
    active
    Can we change the string prefix to JSESSION instead of JSESSIONID= ?
    The only place the app guys can add a constant string to match on is before the = sign.
    Is it possible for CSS to match on a constant string before = sign e.g below:
    service ServerA
    ip address 192.168.10.2
    keepalive type tcp
    keepalive port 80
    string id567=
    active
    service ServerB
    ip address 192.168.20.2
    keepalive type tcp
    keepalive port 80
    string id123=
    active
    content ABC
    url "/*"
    add service ServerA
    string prefix "JSESSION"
    advanced-balance cookies
    port 80
    add service ServerB
    string skip-length 0
    string process-length 6
    protocol tcp
    vip address 172.16.32.1
    active

    It should work.
    There is no reason for it not to work...
    This is the best method you can have on the CSS for stickyness.
    Get a sniffer trace on the client and server with arrowpoint cookie configured on the CSS and capture a failure so we can see what is going on.
    also send me the config so I can verify everything is ok.
    If you have a service request open with the TAC, you can also give the SR # so I can review what has been done.
