Features | Summary |
Methods | • Round robin • Weighted round robin • Least connections • Fastest response • Hash of URI, domain, host, destination IP |
Health check | Checks based on Layer 3, Layer 4, or Layer 7 data. |
Server management | • Warm up • Rate limiting • Maintenance mode with session ramp down |
Persistence | Based on: • Cookies • TCP/IP header matches • A hash of TCP/IP header values • TLS/SSL session ID • RADIUS attribute |

Layer 4 | • Profiles: FTP, TCP, UDP • Content routing: Source IP address |
