Selecting a Load Balancing Metric and Persistency Option
The different load balancing metrics and persistency options provide you with the
following flexibility:
•
following flexibility:
•
Round Robin generally gives you the best load balancing solution.
•
MinMiss Hash with the key set to Source IP gives the best persistency, without
using the persistency cache.
using the persistency cache.

The persistency cache mechanism enables you to specify the required client
persistency time.
persistency time.
•
The wildcard feature allows the client to maintain persistency when the same
client is mapped to a different IP address by a NAT device. However,
persistency cache size is limited, and it somewhat increases the session
processing overhead.
