Wht would be the trade-offs between sickiness and session persistence or are they one and the same?
Thanks..

stickyness means new connections get sent to the same backend-server based on some critiria like source ip address or a cookie ...
Persistence means one TCP can connection can carry multiple http requests/responses.
So, you can decide to keep the persistence which means keep the connection to the same server for each request/response or you can break the persistence and break the connection into multiple ones on the backend for each request/response.
You usually want to break persistence to handle proxies that use a single connection for multiple clients.

Thanks for your response...
<< or you can break the persistence and break the connection into multiple ones on the backend for each request/response. >>
Would you use persistence-rebalance for the above?
Thanks again..

Hello Greg,
You are corrcect. Persistance-rebalance will treat every HTTP request within the same TCP connection as an independent request allowing the ACE to forward a request to a different layer 7 rule. As Gilles mentioned it would be ideal to break the connection when clients are coming through a proxy. Also, if the client is coming from a network where TCP optimization is enabled.

Gilles,
Does CSS 11503 supports stickyness? Actually i want to load balance the chat connections on the basis of src ip & port.
Kindly guide me if there is any way to do this type of load balancing.

sip-call-id
wap-msisdn
arrowpoint-cookie
sticky-srcip <===========
sticky-srcip-dstport

Simply select the correct advanced-balance method to achieve the type of stickyness that you need.
