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:
BalanceNG no longer responds to ICMP ECHO (ping)
requests to native OS addresses if "ipforwarding"
is set. This has been fixed in the stable branch
as well, resulting in 1.926.
