A load balancing stateless protocol, such as HTTP, disrupts the maintenance of state information about client connections if persistence is not configured. Different transmissions from the same client might be directed to different servers even though all the transmissions are part of the same session. You can configure persistence on a load balancing virtual server that handles certain types of Web applications, such as shopping cart applications.

Before you can configure persistence, you need to understand the different types of persistence, how they are used, and what their implications are. You then need to configure the Citrix ADC appliance to provide persistent connections for those websites and Web applications that require them.

You can also configure backup persistence, which takes effect if the primary type of persistence configured for a load balancing virtual server fails. You can configure persistence groups, so that a client transmission to any virtual server in a group can be directed to a server that has received previous transmissions from the same client.
