]]> Cheetah is a new load balancer that solves the challenge of remembering which connection was sent to which server without the traditional trade off between uniform load balancing and efficiency. Cheetah is up to 5 times faster than stateful load balancers and can support advanced balancing mechanisms that reduce the flow completion time by a factor of 2 to 3x without breaking connections, even while adding and removing servers.
