Difference between persist and session command

Greetings all.

 

 

I have been tasked with creating an irule to do JSESSIONID persistence and have found a number of posts on this forum very helpful in the creation process.

 

 

The appears to be a couple different ways to create the persistence table entries required and I am wondering if either of the two ways are more effiecient or less taxing on the load balancer to use.

 

 

It would appear that I "SHOULD" be able to use either of the two commands below to achieve my goals.

 

 

 

Option 1) persist add uie $jsess 1800

 

 

Option 2) session add uie $jsess [IP::server_addr] 1800

 

 

Is there any real meaningful difference in this case between using the "persist add" command and the "session add" command?

 

 

Thanks
