    19:27:50)
  * we can use OVS to load-balance instead of HAProxy  (dave_tucker,
    19:28:42)

    Release plan  (tbachman, 19:40:27)

* Release Plan  (tbachman, 19:41:18)

* HAProxy/Load Balancer  (tbachman, 19:41:41)
  * goal is to implement as natively as possible using OVSDB and
    OpenFlow  (tbachman, 19:42:38)
  * goal is to remove the middlebox from the network.  (tbachman,
    19:43:39)
  * HAProxy is a reverse proxy  (tbachman, 19:44:09)
  * In IPVS, you have to set up the NAT-ing rules yourself  (tbachman,
    19:45:32)
  * HAProxy does the NAT-ing for you, in user-space  (tbachman,
    19:45:42)
  * HAProxy maintains its own table of connections.  (tbachman,
    19:46:20)
  * The back end (i.e. links being load balanced across) will see all
    traffic coming from HAProxy’s IP address  (tbachman, 19:46:41)
  * HAProxy is stateful in the sense that traffic proxied thru HAProxy
    has state about those TCP connections and how they’re mapped through
    the proxy  (tbachman, 19:47:31)
  * Madhu asks what if we have to remove HAProxy completely, and have
    OVS do the load balancing.  (tbachman, 19:48:01)
  * cdub notes that advanced health metrics probably won’t be doable in
    OVS  (tbachman, 19:55:52)
