CLIENT_IP_PROTO |
3-tuple hash on packet's source and destination IP addresses, and IP protocol. Connections for the same IP protocol from the same source IP address to the same destination IP address will be served by the same backend VM while that VM remains healthy. This option cannot be used for HTTP(S) load balancing. |
GENERATED_COOKIE |
Hash based on a cookie generated by the L7 loadbalancer. Only valid for HTTP(S) load balancing. |
CLIENT_IP_PORT_PROTO |
5-tuple hash on packet's source and destination IP addresses, IP protocol, and source and destination ports. Connections for the same IP protocol from the same source IP address and port to the same destination IP address and port will be served by the same backend VM while that VM remains healthy. This option cannot be used for HTTP(S) load balancing. |
HTTP_COOKIE |
The hash is based on a user provided cookie. |
HEADER_FIELD |
The hash is based on a user specified header field. |
CLIENT_IP_NO_DESTINATION |
