Appendix B – Content-Intelligent Server Load
Balancing Not Using Layer 7 Content Switching
Rules
Alteon lets you load balance HTTP requests based on different HTTP header information, such as the
"Cookie:" header for persistent load balancing, the "Host:" header for virtual hosting, or the "User-
Agent" for browser-smart load balancing.
Note:
When Layer 7 load balancing is configured, Alteon does not support IP fragments. If IP
fragments were supported in this mode, Alteon would have to buffer, re-assemble, and inspect
packets before making a forwarding decision.

URL-Based Server Load Balancing
URL-based SLB lets you optimize resource access and server performance. Content dispersion can
be optimized by making load-balancing decisions on the entire path and filename of each URL.
Note:
Both HTTP 1.0 and HTTP 1.1 requests are supported.
For URL matching you, can configure up to 1024 strings comprised of 40 bytes each. Each URL
request is then examined against the URL strings defined for each real server. URL requests are load
balanced among multiple servers matching the URL, according to the load-balancing metric
configured for the real server group (leastconns is the default).
Consider an example where the following criteria are specified for content load balancing:
•
Requests with ".cgi" in the URL are forwarded to Real Servers 3 and 4.
•
Requests with the string "images" in the URL are sent to Real Servers 1 and 2.
•
Requests with URLs starting with "/product:" are sent to Real Servers 2, 3, and 5.
Requests containing URLs with anything else are sent to Real Servers 1, 2, 3, and 4. These servers
have been defined with the "any" string.
