Which layers?

http://trafficserver.apache.org serves and load balances billions of
HTTP pageviews per day. Runs on a regular Linux box.

Part of the reason for the development was that LB suppliers seem to
be more about selling bells and whistles rather than dealing with the
core competency of load balancing.
