BalanceNG V7 Release History
#
7.568 September 8, 2026
#
- The parameter
ipflowdlimit controls the number of ipflow entries shown at show rnat.
- The parameter
hrwfull has been introduced controlling the Highest Random Weight
session-id processing (the default of 0 provides consistency based on the source IP address only).
- The key comparison function for the IPFlow skiplist is now endianess independent (the entries looked unsorted before
on little endian).
7.562 September 6, 2026
#
- The parameter
rnatslbenable allows to enable RNAT packet rewriting in the SLB module (module_slb).
In general, this is not functional in DSR (direct server return) configurations since packets need to
be rewritten in both directions.
- The parameter
rnatslbtap allows to inspect the packet rewriting with set rnatslbenable 1. For each
direction both, the original and the rewritten packet are sent to the bngtap SHM packet queue for
inspection.
7.556 September 3, 2026
#
- The IPFlow ephemeral port selection hash function now covers the 5-tuple (Source IP Address,
Destination IP Address, Source Port, Destination Port and Transport Protocol).
- This applies for
module_rnat (rnat IP flows) and module_slb (rnatslb IP flows).
7.554 September 1, 2026
#
- An issue with packet rewriting in
module_slb has been fixed.
7.543 August 19, 2026
#
- The slb module now implements internal RNAT translation indroducing a slb
specific RNAT IP flow table.
7.533 August 17, 2026
#
- The VRRP master down timer is now atomic.
- A new starting node claims VRRP mastership when no advertisements have been received
for PARA_VRRPMASTERDOWN seconds.
7.530 August 16, 2026
#
- Rendezvous/HRW (Highest Random Weight) Consistent Hashing added (
server N method hrw).
7.527 August 13, 2026
#
- An issue with rebooting a BalanceNG VRRP backup machine has been resolved for some cases.
The VRRP state machine now accepts VRRP advertisements of a running VRRP master during initial
2 seconds (and stays VRRP backup in this case).
7.519 August 6, 2026
#
- EL9 and EL10 .rpm packages added (RHEL/Rocky).
7.518 August 4, 2026
#
- bng.service waits until networking.service has finished raising network interfaces on boot.
- Ubuntu24 and Ubuntu26 packages added.
