Just to add on. Can anyone advise me if my statement of understanding is correct.

 

1. If i am using cookies as persistence and happened that my connection is outside the connection limit range allows. my connection will be drop but once I am in the range of connection limit allows, I will still obtain the same session to continue my process since my cookies is still alive.

Sorry for the trouble. Will really appreciate if anyone could advise. Thanks!
