RS 2100 Introduction Software Overview
SSL persistence – a binding is determined by matching the source IP address and the virtual destination IP/port
address. Note that requests from any source socket with the client IP address are considered part of the same
session.
Sticky persistence – a binding is determined by matching the source and destination IP addresses only. This
allows all requests from a client to the same virtual address to be directed to the same load balancing server.
Virtual private network (VPN) persistence – for VPN traffic using Encapsulated Security Payload (ESP) mode
of IPSec, a binding is determined by matching the source and destination IP addresses in the secure key transfer
request to subsequent client requests.
IP persistence – Used for L3 persistence of load balancing sessions.
