"Stickyness" to source IP address

This affinity feature is enabled by configuring the clustered port to be sticky. Configuring a cluster's port to be sticky allows subsequent client requests to be directed to the same server. This is done by setting the sticky time to a positive number; the feature can be disabled by setting the sticky time to zero.

This feature applies to the Dispatcher, the CBR, and the Site Selector components of Load Balancer.

Note This affinity strategy has some drawbacks. Some ISPs use proxies that collapse many client connections into a small number of source IP addresses. A large number of users who are not part of the session will be connected to the same server. Other proxies use a pool of user IP addresses chosen at random, even for connections from the same user, invalidating the affinity.
