Hi Neil,

 

 

Here is a section from the GTM 10.1 Config Guide on persistence:

 

 

https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_gtm/manuals/product/gtm_config_guide_10_1/gtm_connections.html1010565

 

 

Logically, I think the idea is that GTM adds the source IP address (whether it's an LDNS or client) with a CIDR mask taken into account into a table with a mapping of the client, hostname and selected IP address. If another request is made from a client in the same subnet for the same hostname, they get the same answer.

 

 

Is that what you were looking for?
