Provides load statistics about servers being load balanced to the Load Manager.
The DFP daemon (dfpd) runs on the server being load balanced and provides load statistics about the server to the Load Manager. This enables the Load Manager to send future connections to the servers that are more available which helps in balancing the load.
When the dfpd daemon starts, it reads its configuration information from the file specified in the ConfigurationFile parameter. If the parameter is not specified, the dfpd daemon reads its configuration information from the /etc/dfpd.conf file.
Once started, the dfpd daemon listens for connections from the Load Manager on the port specified in the configuration file.
DFP daemon Configuration File
The /etc/dfpd.conf file can be updated by editing it. The entries in the /etc/dfpd.conf file include the following information:
