What is the ID Field, and what is it used for?

The ID field highlighted in the image above is used for Cookie ID-based persistence when load balancing. It is also used to define each server’s IDs and then within flightPATH to direct traffic to servers based on the ID value.

The example image shows each server with a unique ID value. This is used to identify each server.

Below is an example flightPATH rule set that directs requests to the correct server based on the value within the PATH.

The flightPATH example above relates to traffic direction to server A101794. Two more flightPATH rules are defined for the remaining two servers, A101795 and A101796.
