What is mcrouter
Mcrouter (pronounced mc router) is a memcached protocol router for scaling memcached deployments. Because the routing and feature logic are abstracted from the client in mcrouter deployments, the client may simply communicate with destination hosts through mcrouter over a TCP connection using standard memcached protocol.
