-INTRODUCTION
-
-This folder contains code that implement:
-
-1. Dynamic load balancing
-
-OpenSim is allowing many regions to share a region server, but the optimal
-number of regions on each server depends on the load of each region, something
-which may change as time goes on. 3Di is working on a load balancer that
-allows the current load to be monitored and regions to be reassigned without
-requiring the servers to be restarted. To move a region, its state is
-serialized, and a new clone is created on the target server using this
-stream. The old region is then destroyed and the client viewer updated to use
-the new region address.
-
-2. Region splitting
-
-Currently each region can hold only a small number of avatars.  To allow more
-avatars in each region, 3Di has implemented region splitting, in which several
-copies of a given region can be distributed across the region servers. Each
-sub-region updates a fraction of the avatars, and sends state updates to the
-other sub-regions.
-
-IMPLEMENTATION
-
-The code is organised as follows:
-
-* LoadBalancer: communicates with other region servers and creates/destroys
-regions on command
-* RegionMonitor/MonitorGUI: provides a browser GUI, showing the state of the
-grid, and provides buttons for controlling region movement, splitting, and
-merging.
-* RegionMonitor/ServerPlugin: this is a region server plugin which 
-communicates with the load balancer GUI to provide information
-on the identity and status of the regions on the grid
-* RegionProxy: maps messages from a clients to the true location of a region.
-
-USAGE
-
-In order to use these additions the following lines have to be added to
-OpenSim.ini:
-
-proxy_offset = -1000
-proxy_url = http://10.8.1.50:9001
-serialize_dir = /mnt/temp/
-
-If defined, proxy_offset defines how to calculate the true region port, e.g.
-if the XML defines the port as 9000 the actual port is 8000 if proxy_offset 
-is -1000. The RegionProxy module will open a port at 9000 which the clients
-can connect to, and route all traffic from there to port 8000. This allows
-the region proxy to run on region server together with regions without
-blocking them by using the same port number.
-
-The proxy location is defined in proxy_url. When splitting, the region state
-is stored on a file in the folder specified in serialize_dir. This has to be
-a shared folder which both region servers involved in the split have access to.
-
-3. Monitor GUI
-
-RegionMonitor/MonitorGUI is used to view status of all the managed Region
-servers, and send "Move", "Split", "Merge" commands to a specified Regions
-server.
-
-MonitorGUI is a web-based application. You can access it through a web browser.
-Its back-end is written in perl. (CGI script)
-
-Pre-requierments (CentOS, Fedora)
-
-RPM package "perl-XML-RPC" and relevant packages.
-
-Installation
-
-1. Install Apache
-2. copy all the files undef "ThirdParty/3Di/RegionMonitor/MonitorGUI/htdocs" to
-"$APACHE_ROOT/htdocs"
-3. Configuration in "monitor.cgi"
- * 10th line, set the value to your "monitor.cgi"'s location.
- * 11th line, set the value to your Grid server.
- * 12th line, set your region proxy port number here.
-   (ref. OpenSim.ini::NetWork::http_listener_port)
-* The code also works fine with mod_perl.
