Enable replication of http sessions data and recent match sessions tables on Debian Gnu/Linux (Kernel version >= 3.2).

Features

  • Command line control for managing ssyncd stored data.
  • Recent match tables replication
  • HTTP sessions replication, includes support for Zevenet Pound session replication

Installation and runtime

Ssyncd has been tested in stable Debian distributions: Wheezy, Jessie and Stretch

Prerequisites

  • Patched xt_recent module (required) :
    • Required to enable writing of sessions data to recent match sessions tables. Under src/kmodule can be found patched xt recent modules for stable debian kernel versions 3.2.93 (Wheezy) , 3.16.43 (Jessie) and 4.9.13 (Stretch).
  • Zevenet Pound (required):
    • Required to enable HTTP session replication and it's necessary that Pound process started with session synchronization enabled (option "-s").

Build dependencies

Build

git clone https://github.com/zevenet/ssyncd.git
cd ssyncd/bin
cmake ../
make

Usage

Ssyncd has two modes of functioning, as master mode or as backup mode; master is the source of sessions data to be sent to backup node.

Usage: ssyncd -[MB] [adp]
    
Examples
    ssyncd -M [-p 7777]
    ssyncd -B [-a 127.0.0.1 -p 7777]

Commands: Either long or short options are allowed.
    -M  --master                        start master node
    -B  --backup                        start backup node

Options:
    -d  --daemon                        run ssyncd as daemon
    -a  --address   [master address]    master node address
    -p  --port      [master port]       master listening port

Command line interface

Ssyncd is managed by a commands interface tools named ssyncdctl, and provide the following options:

  • In master mode:

    • Start listening to Pound http sessions updates:

      # ssyncdctl start http [farm name]

    • Start listening to recent sessions tables updates:

      # ssyncdctl start recent

  • Show ssyncd http sessions data:

    # ssyncdctl show http

  • Show ssyncd recent tables sessions data:

    # ssyncdctl show recent

  • In backup mode:

    • Write http sessions data to Pound sessions tables:

      # ssyncdctl write http

    • Write recent tables session data to kernel tables:

      # ssyncdctl write recent

  • Exit ssyncd process:

    # ssyncdctl quit
