What type of application is it? Is it HTTP based? Is it unencrypted? Can you use F5 Cookie Insert?

 

For any type of persistence, there MUST be something to key off of or look at to make the persistence decision so please share what you would like to look at in the request.

 

Example, for source persistence, we key off of the source IP.

 

In HTTP persistence, we can key off of a hostname ,or uri or cookie, etc..

 

What do you propose we look at in the request?
