C.2 Maintaining the Same IP Address throughout a Session
C.2.1 Scenario
Some client IP address sensitive web sites (for example, Internet banking) use both client
IP address and cookies matching for session identification. Since different IP addresses are
used during the load balancing, the session is dropped when a mismatching IP is detected.
C.2.2 Solution
Make use of the Persistency functionality of PePLink Balance.
With Persistency configured and the option “By destination” selected, PePLink Balance uses
a consistent WAN connection for source-destination pairs of IP addresses, and prevents
sessions from being dropped.
With Persistency configured and the option “By source” selected, PePLink Balance uses a
consistent WAN connection for same source IP addresses. This option offers even higher
application compatibility but the outbound traffic load will be distributed more evenly only if
more users use the Internet.
