Suspending and resuming connections

Under some circumstances, you may need to shut down a remote server for a period of time to perform some maintenance task. For example, to synchronize two servers, you must suspend all of that server’s activity.

Example of suspending and resuming client connections.

OpenSwitch provides a mechanism to suspend a group of connections (either by pool, server, or individual connection) so that no activity is performed on the server until the connections are resumed.

See rp_stop and rp_start for instructions.
