As no one else has replied I thought I would.

LVS fullNAT is not widely used but is likely to perform very well as it is
simple layer 4 routing.
Most people use LVS for layer 4 dr/masq mode and HAProxy for anything that
needs Layer 7 i.e. a proxy (fullnat).

F5 is the top of the range commercial product so neither LVS or HAProxy are
anything like it. However they can give 95% of the performance/features
when configured correctly.
Loadbalancer.org, Kemp & Barracuda Networks all use LVS for layer 4 load
balancing in their commercial products.

You are much better off looking at what your requirements are first NOT
comparing to a random commercial product.

and to also note. the F5 use asics to accelerate a lot of L7 functionality and ddos offload; cots cannot really compete with that. I am a fan of putting the heavy lifting intelligence on a proxy tier behind the LB since that allows seemless horizontal scaling. very much a fan of L4/RR/dr or l3dr



this was pounded out on my iPhone and i have fat fingers plus two left thumbs :)

F5 as another vendors make tuning in TCP stack, if you have some idea to
compare lvs vs f5 I think it will not be very conclusively.

In case you want to compare with F5, F5 *fastL4 *Profile would be the most
similar to LVS.
