Hi Neophyse,
Since we don't know what type of application you have it's a bit harder to determine what persistance works for you. It might be best if you look at the F5 Configuration guide to give you detailed explanation of each. You can find these guides at the ask.f5.com website.
However, the most popular persistence - an out of the box choosing, is either Source_address or Cookie persistence. Source persistance is based on the client's IP address and the session table is maintained by the F5. Cookie persistence is simply inserting a special cookie that contains information that the BIGIP will use when the client returns. The benefit here is that the F5 doesn't keep that information because it's offloaded to the client. Usually Cookie persistence are used for Websites, while Source_address are used for non-web applications.
I hope this helps you find the right type of persistence.

Thanks you,
My application is Liferay on Glassfish.
Finaly, i thinks that the persistence is most the role of glassfish for the replication session.
No ?

I would try standard cookie persistence. The persistence timeout should be a set a few seconds shorter then the session timeout of the Glassfish/Liferay server. If that doesn't work then use source_address with the same timeout parameters as I suggested with the cookie.
Hope this helps
