When kube-proxy is in IPVS Mode, are there any plans to support the setting of Load Balancing algorithm for each service?

[ssup2]

Now Kubernetes doesn't support select load balancing algorithm for each service with IPVS mode.

In most cases, round-robin is sufficient, but other algorithms may be better depending on the situation. Are there plans to support this ?? Thanks.

There was a PR a while back to allow configuration of the scheduler algorithm via annotations, see https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/75556

It was closed due to the level of complexity it was adding since the load balancing algorithm is performed per node client-side, so every other client cannot accurately determine which backend is best. PR discussion has more details.

Please re-open the PR if you'd like to make a case for why it should be reconsidered.

Thanks,

Andrew Sy
