The Citrix NetScaler CPX, is one of the many Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs), which is used mainly for load balancing between the application servers in a datacenter network. ADCs are typically placed in the demilitarized zone in an organization�s network, handling the connectivity of the external clients to the organization�s servers. While performing load balancing between the servers, there is need for better routing between application servers. Route Health Injection (RHI) delegates the control of routing protocol announcement to a server based on the health of a service and the connectivity of the server to the network. This paper discusses on how the current version of NetScaler CPX is integrated with a third-party routing stack, Quagga, to enable the connectivity of the clients to the servers, with the additional feature of Route Health Injection (RHI) for better routing. � 2019 ASTES Publishers.
