H.323 Persistence

I have a need to use a BIG-IP to load balance SIP and H.323 connections. I also need to persist both types. I know the BIG-IP will handle the SIP traffic without any problems, but what about the H.323 stuff? DOes anybody have a rule that will persist H.323 traffic based on data in the H.323 packet?

 

 

Thanks!

    The short answer is really yes, this should work just fine.

     

     

    The longer answer is, it is possible, but the complexity of the rule would vary depending on what it is you're trying to use for the persistence of the connection.

     

     

    Since BIG-IP can parse the entire header and payload, you should be able to write a rule that finds whatever piece of the information that's being passed that you want, and use that for load balancing decisions and/or persistence.

     

     

    There are not, however, any commands native in iRules that deal with this standard.
