F5 best practices for nettcp

I've reviewed the available info here, but it doesn't seem complete. Aside from configuring persistence, does anyone have suggestions for best practices load balancing MS Net.tcp?

As far as I can see, persistence at layer-4 (i.e source address) is probably about all you can do.

 

Unless you want to write an irule that parses the net.tcp messages and creates persistence records on a per message basis, there isn't really any other approach.
