| <longdescription>HA-Proxy is a TCP/HTTP reverse proxy which is particularly suited for high availability environments. |
| It can: |
| - route HTTP requests depending on statically assigned cookies |
| - spread the load among several servers while assuring server persistence through the use of HTTP cookies |
| - switch to backup servers in the event a main one fails |
| - accept connections to special ports dedicated to service monitoring |
| - stop accepting connections without breaking existing ones |
| - add/modify/delete HTTP headers both ways |
| - block requests matching a particular pattern |
| Its event-driven architecture allows it to easily handle thousands of simultaneous connections on hundreds of instances without risking the system's stability. |
