what is the F5 algoritm to calculate HASH PERSISTENCE
Hello, I found something that I´m really interested.
Looking to this forum, unRuleY (nick) said that :
I think the best approach would be to use hash persistence.
In this form of persistence, the server is always chosen based on a hash of the value provided. You would simply create a pool with the two proxy members and then in the rule specify the value you want to hash on. For example,
when HTTP_REQUEST {
persist hash [HTTP::uri]
}
Hash persistence is a little different from other persistence methods in that is uses the modulus of the hash value to determine pool member and thus bypasses load-balancing.
----------------
I´m doing the same and I think it is working.
I only want to know what algoritm F5 use to calculate HASH PERSISTENCE. I mean, I want to do the HASH VALUE of an URL and apply the modulus.
Could somebody help me ?
Thanks
Rodrigo
