Half-Pipe Anchoring: An Efficient Mechanism for TCP Connection Handoff
Overview This paper presents the design and implementation of Split-Stack, a novel and efficient mechanism for handing off TCP connections that enables fine-grain load balancing among the servers of a cluster. The key insight behind the approach is to decouple the two unidirectional half-pipes that make up a TCP connection. This approach has two benefits. First, it permits the half - pipe from the cluster to be utilized to the full extent of its bandwidth. Second, it permits all client requests to be intercepted at a single designated server, facilitating the construction of heterogenous systems out of modularized components.
