This is the heart of the scalability change for services in libnetwork. The present routing mesh adds load-balancing rules for a network to every container connected to the network. This newer approach creates a load-balancing endpoint per network per node. For every service on a network, libnetwork assigns the VIP of the service to the endpoint's interface as an alias. This endpoint must have a unique IP address in order to route return traffic to it. Traffic destined for a service's VIP arrives at the load-balancing endpoint on the VIP and from there, Linux load balances it among backend destinations while SNATing said traffic to the endpoint's unique IP address. The net result of this scheme is that each node in a swarm need only have one set of load balancing state per service instead of one per container on the node. This scheme is very similar to how services currently operate on Windows nodes in libnetwork. It (as with Windows nodes) costs the use of extra IP addresses in a network (one per node) and an extra network hop in the stack, although, always in the stack local to the container. In order to prevent existing deployments from suddenly failing if they failed to allocate sufficient address space to include per-node load-balancing endpoint IP addresses, this patch preserves the existing functionality and activates the new functionality on a per-network basis depending on whether the network has a load-balancing endpoint. Eventually, moby should always set this option when creating new networks and should only omit it for networks created as part of a swarm that are not marked to use endpoint load balancing. This patch also normalizes the code to treat "load" and "balancer" as two separate words from the perspectives of variable/function naming. This means that the 'b' in "balancer" must be capitalized.
