[lvs-users] The streaming connection would be disconnected when two minutes period is reached on LVS-DR

[Malcolm Turnbull]

ipvsadm -L -timeout is only required when persistence > 15mins

Are you sure you have actually set persistence in the virtual server definition?

Default TCP persistence template is 2mins (which would explain your
connection break)

We've never had any problems with RTSP.

This does not occur if the client connects directly to one of the real-servers. The streaming server uses the RTSP protocol which is based on TCP protocol to establish streaming connection with clients.

I also have modified IPVS’ timeout table in Linux kernel (/net/ipv4/ipvs/ip_vs_proto_tcp.c), but the problem still remains.
