Chapter 7 Configuring Stickiness
Stickiness Overview
minutes to several hours). This feature is particularly useful for e-commerce applications where a client
needs to maintain multiple connections with the same server while shopping online, especially while
building a shopping cart using HTTP requests and during the checkout process using HTTPS.
Depending on the configured SLB policy, the ACE appliance “sticks” a client to an appropriate server
after the ACE appliance has determined which load-balancing method to use. If the ACE appliance
determines that a client is already stuck to a particular server, then the ACE appliance sends that client
request to that server, regardless of the load-balancing criteria specified by the matched policy. If the
ACE appliance determines that the client is not stuck to a particular server, it applies the normal
load-balancing rules to the content request.
You can configure stickiness to stick a client to a real server that is associated with a server farm or you
can use the buddy sticky group feature to enable persistence to a real server or real server group across
multiple server farms (see the “Buddy Sticky Groups” section on page 7-6).
