 Container platforms provide the infrastructure needed to deploy horizontally scalable container services into the Cloud, including orchestration, networking, service discovery and load balancing.
 
 ### Purpose
-This thesis studies container networking architectures and existing Cloud load balancer implementations to create a design for a scalable load balancer using the Linux IPVS network-level load balancer implementation.
+This thesis studies container networking architectures and existing Cloud load balancer implementations to create a design for a scalable load balancer using the [Linux IPVS](http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/software/ipvs.html) network-level load balancer implementation.
 
 The `clusterf` load balancer architecture uses a two-level load balancing scheme combining different packet forwarding methods for scalability and           compatibility with existing Docker applications.

 ### Research method
 The `clusterf` load balancer is evaluated using a testbed environment, measuring the performance the network-level Linux IPVS implementation.
 
-The scalability of the `clusterf` load balancer is tested using Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) routing and IPVS connection synchronization
+The scalability of the `clusterf` load balancer is tested using Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) routing and [IPVS connection synchronization](http://www.linux-vs.org/docs/sync.html).
 
 ### Key results
 The result is that the network-level Linux IPVS load balancer performs significantly better than the application-level HAProxy load balancer in the same      configuration.
