Building Windows Media Service Cluster using LVS

James: /* Configuration Example */

== Introduction ==

Microsoft Windows Media Service uses uses two streaming media protocols to deliver content as a unicast stream to clients:
* Real Time Streaming Protocol ([[RTSP]])
* Microsoft Media Server (MMS) protocol

== Architecture ==

== Configuration Example ==
In order for us to get this to work, we need to allow the following ports in: 

<ul><li>80 tcp (ONLY NEEDED IF YOU ARE SERVING STREAMS THROUGH HTTP)</li>
<li>554 tcp/udp</li>
<li>1755 tcp/udp</li>
<li>1024-5000 udp</li></ul>

 This can be done like so, replacing $EXT_IF and $EXT_IP with your appropriate interface and IP: 

<ul><li>iptables -A INPUT -i $EXT_IF -p tcp -s 0/0 -d $EXT_IP --dport 1755 -j ACCEPT</li>
<li>iptables -A INPUT -i $EXT_IF -p tcp -s 0/0 -d $EXT_IP --dport 554 -j ACCEPT</li>
<li>iptables -A INPUT -i $EXT_IF -p udp -s 0/0 -d $EXT_IP --dport 554 -j ACCEPT</li>
<li>iptables -A INPUT -i $EXT_IF -p udp -s 0/0 -d $EXT_IP --dport 1024:5000 -j ACCEPT</li></ul>

 (example: iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -s 0/0 -d 1.2.3.4 --dport 1755 -j ACCEPT) 

 Next, we need to take a group the packets by using the MANGLE table in iptables. To do that you would do the following, replacing $EXT_IF, $EXT_IP and $WMS_MARK with your appropriate interface, IP and mark that you would like to tag the packets with: 

<ul><li>iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i $EXT_IF -p tcp -s 0/0 -d $EXT_IP --dport 554 -j MARK --set-mark $WMS_MARK</li>
<li>iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i $EXT_IF -p udp -s 0/0 -d $EXT_IP --dport 554 -j MARK --set-mark $WMS_MARK</li>
<li>iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i $EXT_IF -p tcp -s 0/0 -d $EXT_IP --dport 1755 -j MARK --set-mark $WMS_MARK</li>
<li>iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i $EXT_IF -p udp -s 0/0 -d $EXT_IP --dport 1755 -j MARK --set-mark $WMS_MARK</li>
<li>iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i $EXT_IF -p udp -s 0/0 -d $EXT_IP --dport 1024:5000 -j MARK --set-mark $WMS_MARK</li></ul>

 (example: iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp -s 0/0 -d 1.2.3.4 --dport 554 -j MARK --set-mark 1) 

 Next, we need to tell LVS to do the load balancing. This can be done by doing the following, replacing $WMS_MARK and $RSx_IP with the appropriate mark that you chose above and your real server IPs: 

<ul><li>ipvsadm -D -f $WMS_MARK</li>
<li>ipvsadm -A -f $WMS_MARK -s rr -p 600</li>
<li>ipvsadm -a -f $WMS_MARK -r $RS1_IP:0 -m</li>
<li>ipvsadm -a -f $WMS_MARK -r $RS1_IP:0 -m</li></ul>

 (example: ipvsadm -A -f WMSLVS1 -s rr -p 600)
 (example: ipvsadm -a -f WMSLVS1 -r 10.10.10.1:0 -m)

 Once you have completed these steps, you should have a working Windows Media Streaming Server LVS! Enjoy!

== Conclusion ==
In the above configuration example you see that I am using Round-Robin (rr). This is not necessary, you can use any type you want. I have switched my personal LVS setup to use Weighted Least Connections (wlc).
