- Sure, there's a way but it's not in the "IP" namespace. Think of IP as the base class and TCP and UDP are classes derived from IP.
- JRahmAdminI've considered using TCP::client_port for persisting where all my clients hit an SSL VPN device and come out sharing a single IP address.
- drteeth_127330Historic F5 AccountThat's probably not a good idea. Session persistence means that separate connections that are part of the same session will be directed to the same back-end server. The problem with the client port is that it generally changes for each client connection. The best way to support session persistence is to use something in the higher-level protocol, like an HTTP cookie. For SSL, one can use the SSL session id for persistence. However, there are problems with tracking the session id across renegotiations.
