+/**
+ * lb-plugin implements a MagLev-like load balancer.
+ * http://research.google.com/pubs/pub44824.html
+ *
+ * It hasn't been tested for interoperability with the original MagLev
+ * but intends to provide similar functionality.
+ * The load-balancer receives traffic destined to VIP (Virtual IP)
+ * addresses from one or multiple(ECMP) routers.
+ * The load-balancer tunnels the traffic toward many application servers
+ * ensuring session stickyness (i.e. that a single sessions is tunneled
+ * towards a single application server).
