What is source IP based load balancing?

Source IP Hash load balancing uses an algorithm that takes the source and destination IP address of the client and server to generate a unique hash key. This key is used to allocate the client to a particular server.

What is HAProxy public IP address?

This is the IP address that HAProxy listens on, which is normally the localhost specified by IP address: 127.0. 0.1. This is the port that HAProxy listens on, which is normally 85.

What is source IP address persistence?

When source IP persistence is configured, the load balancing virtual server uses the configured load balancing method to select a service for the initial request, and then uses the source IP address (client IP address) to identify subsequent requests from that client and send them to the same service.

What is IP hash based load balancing?

The IP Hash policy uses an incoming request's source IP address as a hashing key to route non-sticky traffic to the same backend server. The load balancer routes requests from the same client to the same backend server as long as that server is available.
