bound
A character that represents the limit of part of a regular expression.
bracket expression
In a regular expression, a list of characters enclosed in brackets ( [...] ).
branch
In an Equalizer regular expression, a complete piece of a regular expression. You can concatenate and/or match branches. See
atom, piece, and regular expression.
C
cache
An area in which information is temporarily stored.
client timeout
The time in seconds that Equalizer waits before closing an idle client connection.
cluster
A set of networked computer systems that work together as one system. See server cluster and virtual cluster.
cluster address
The IP address assigned to a particular cluster configured on Equalizer.
command transfer
In a failover configuration the subnet that is the subnet over which the configuration file transfers (between preferred primary and
preferred backup) can occur.
Community String
Any SNMP management console needs to send the correct community string along with all SNMP requests. If the sent community
string is not correct, Equalizer discards the request and will not respond.
computed load
A measure of the performance of a server relative to the overall performance of the cluster of which the server is a part.
connection
A connection is a Layer 4 transmission path established between two endpoints. Clients open connections to Equalizer cluster IPs,
and Equalizer opens connections to the servers behind it. The notion of a connection is supplied by the underlying protocol. There
are connection-oriented protocols, like TCP and connectionless protocols, such as UDP.
connection timeout (ms)
This is the failover timeout (in ms) for peer connections.
cookie
Data that a Web server stores on a client on behalf of a Web site. When a user returns to the Web site, the server reads the cookie
data on the client, providing the Web site all the saved information about the user.
cookie header
One of Equalizer's supported headers, a cookie header is an HTTP data string previously sent by a server that is stored in Equal-
izer for future routing.
cookie persistence
In cookie-based persistence, Equalizer "stuffs" a cookie into the server's response header on its way back to the client. This cookie
uniquely identifies the server to which the client was just connected. The client includes (sends) the cookie in subsequent requests
to the Equalizer. Equalizer uses the information in the cookie to route the requests back to the same server.
