soudce address persistency

Thanks for you quick response

 

 

I just gave an example.

 

In reality I'll have much more than 2 pool members (more like 20-50)

 

As long as the same source IP always goes to the same pool member its good (I dont care about specific mapping. like 172.17.1.1 doesnt have to go to member1. it can go to member17 as long as it will ALWAYS go to member17)

 

 

I used "source_addr" persistence. edited the profile and changed the default timeout from "180" to "indefinite" and it seems to do the job

 

however it stored each and every record in the persistency table forever. if I'll have a lot of source IPs wouldn't it overload the device?

 

 

In Alteon I just use "metric hash" and even if the session was aged out, next time a packet comes from the same source IP it will be sent to the same pool member (guess it uses MD5)

 

define each and every pool member with its MOD result is going to be ugly. especially when I add new servers
