RSPLIB RSerPool Demo VM Images

These are VirtualBox OVA images for the RSPLIB RSerPool Demo. They are a showcase for Reliable Server Pooling (RSerPool), and of course for the RSPLIB implementation. This directory contains the demo setup for current Ubuntu LTS and Fedora versions. Just select the operation system variant of your choice.

See https://www.nntb.no/~dreibh/rserpool/ for a detailed description of RSerPool and RSPLIB!
