Hashed Cookie Persistence
Using hashed cookie persistence, unique information about the client is placed in the cookie. When the application switch examines the cookie, it performs a mathematical hash of the unique contents of the cookie. The mathematical hash operation always renders the same numeric value for the cookie. In other words, a given cookie is always forwarded to the same server until the size of the server pool changes.
Figure 6-3 illustrates hashed cookie persistence.
