Probably least connections (node). The default behavior, round robin, doesn't really take sticky persistence into account, whereas least connections balances according to the current load on each server.

Hi AMiles,
Thank you so much for your response. I have one more question.
Does the least connection method work based on the connection to the nodes only or does it take into account the CPU/RAM usage of the servers as well ?

Hello Gautham,
Least connections (node) does NOT take into account the current cpu/ram usage: it is based solely on the traffic your load balancer is sending to your pool members. There are other methods that take factors like that into account, which perform with varying degrees of success.
HERE'S a link to the methods F5 supports.
