-======Load balancer======
-=====Description and cases=====
-The SSG can act as a traffic balancer based on IP addresses belonging to an AS defined as ''local'' in ''asnum.dscp''.\\
-In this case, the SSG-LB acts as an L2-bridge in the network, hence the name L2 traffic balancer.
-<note>DPI functionality does not work in this mode.</note>
-====Case: Balancer on a traffic mirror====
-Suppose a 400Gbps traffic mirror needs to be evenly distributed among four VAS platforms (Value-Added Services) performing traffic analysis and various detection.\\
-In this case, SSG-LB will evenly distribute traffic with equal port utilization on the pullers and maintain traffic symmetry (traffic from one session will be directed to only one puller).
-{{ :en:dpi:load_balancer:load_balancer.png?450 |}}
-**Example configuration /etc/dpi/fastdpi.conf:**
-  * Traffic mirroring is fed into 4x100G interfaces.
-  * Traffic is balanced between four pullers, each puller is connected by 4x25G links.

-=====Setting=====
-====Setting up subnets for balancing====
-Balancing applies only to IP addresses belonging to the AS defined as ''local'' in ''asnum.dscp''.
-    - Define an autonomous system with IP addresses that are used by subscribers:<code bash>vi aslocal.txt
-.0.0.0/8 64511
-.16.0.0/12 64511
-.168.0.0/16 64511
-cat aslocal.txt | as2bin /etc/dpi/aslocal.bin</code>
-      - [[en:dpi:dpi_options:opt_statistics:statistics_asn:start#examples_for_ipv4|Examples for IPv4]]
-      - [[en:dpi:dpi_options:opt_statistics:statistics_asn:start#examples_for_ipv6|Example for IPv6]]
-    - Mark a given autonomous system as local:<code bash>vi my_as_dscp.txt
-local
-local
-cat my_as_dscp.txt | as2dscp /etc/dpi/asnum.dscp</code> You can use either a custom AS or a public AS as the AS.\\ Read more  [[en:dpi:dpi_options:opt_priority:priority_config_as:start|at the link]]
-  - A reload must be performed to apply the parameters:<code bash>service fastdpi reload</code>
-====Setting /etc/dpi/fastdpi.conf====
-    - Define the input and output interfaces in the configuration file.\\ The input interfaces to which the traffic mirror is fed are specified in the ''in_dev'' parameter, and the output interfaces are specified in ''out_dev''.\\ Interfaces do not form pairs and species constructs are allowed:<code bash>in_dev=05-00.0:05-00.1:05-00.2:05-00.3:0b-00.0:0b-00.1:0b-00.2:0b-00.3
-out_dev=08-00.0:08-00.1:08-00.2:08-00.3</code> Or <code bash>in_dev=05-00.0
-out_dev=out_dev=08-00.0:08-00.1:08-00.2:08-00.3</code>
-    - Enable balancing mode in the ''enable_l2_lb'' parameter, where:
-      * ''0'' — deactivate balancing;
-      * ''1'' — activate balancing.
-    - Determine by what value to initialize the hash table in the ''lb_hash_out_dev_type'' parameter, where:
-      * ''0'' — use the internal index of the output interface;
-      * ''1'' — use the interface name from [in|out]_dev.
-    - Select an engine to handle thread dispatchers in the ''dpdk_engine'' parameter, where:
-      * ''0'' — read/write **default** engine, one dispatcher for everything;
-      * ''1'' — read/write engine with two dispatcher threads: a dispatcher for each direction;
-      * ''2'' — Read/write engine with RSS support: for each direction, ''dpdk_rss'' dispatchers are created (default ''dpdk_rss=2''), so total number of dispatchers = 2 * ''dpdk_rss''.\\ Learn more about the ''dpdk_engine'' parameter by [[dpi:dpi_components:platform:dpi_config:start#загрузка_потока_диспетчера|clicking here]].
-    - Select a balancing algorithm. The ''maglev'' algorithm with fixed hash table size is used for traffic balancing, where:
-      * ''1'' — if src and dst ip are both local, then hash is calculated based on these two addresses;
-      * ''2'' — if only src ip local, then hash is calculated based on src ip;
-      * ''3'' — if only dst ip local, hash is calculated on the basis of dst ip;
-      * ''4'' — hash is calculated based on src and dst ip.\\ \\ Based on the calculated hash value, the output interface is determined by determining the index of the hash table cell containing the interface index from the array of output interfaces.
