Subject: [PATCH ipvs] Added simple weighted failover scheduler to ipvs

From: Kenny Mathis <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 8 Sep 2014 17:08:04 -0400

Please consider this patch for addition in 3.17

Creates net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_fo.c

Added simple weighted IPVS failover support to the Linux kernel.  All
other scheduling modules implement some form of load balancing, while 
this offers a simple failover solution.  Connections are directed to the
appropriate server based solely on highest weight value and server
availability.  Tested functionality with keepalived.
