BalanceNG is a modern software IP load balancing solution. It is small, fast, and easy to use and setup. It offers session persistence, different distribution methods (Round Robin, Random, Weighted Random, Least Session, Least Bandwidth, Hash, Agent, and Randomized Agent) and a customizable UDP health check agent in source code. It supports VRRP to set up high availability configurations on multiple nodes. It supports SNMP, integrating the BALANCENG-MIB with Net-SNMPD. It integrates pcap packet dumping for debugging purposes and allows the implementation of a "transparent forensic logging bridge".

Changes:
A new "outmtu" parameter has been added, which
allows an optional truncation of outgoing packets
in the case that an unwanted FCS (Frame Check
Sequence) needs to be suppressed. A new parameter
"backupalerts" has been added, which allows you to
suppress the execution of target and gateway alert
and upalert scripts if the current node is in VRRP
backup state. Both parameters have been added to
the "development" branch as well, resulting in
2.026. The manual has been updated to release
1.914.0.
