With RTSP Session ID persistence, when the Citrix ADC appliance receives a request from a new client, it creates a persistence session based on the Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) session ID in the RTSP packet header, and then directs the request to the RTSP service selected by the configured load balancing method. It directs subsequent requests that contain the same session ID to the same service. This persistence type is applicable specifically to SIP load balancing. For more information about SIP load balancing, see Monitoring SIP Services.

Note: RTSP Session ID persistence is configured by default on RTSP virtual servers, and you cannot modify that setting.

Sometimes different RTSP servers issue the same session IDs. When this happens, unique sessions cannot be created between the client and the RTSP server by using only the RTSP session ID. If you have multiple RTSP servers that might issue the same session IDs, you can configure the appliance to append the server IP address and port to the session ID, creating a unique token that can be used to establish persistence. This is called session ID mapping.

To configure persistence based on RTSP Session IDs, see Configuring Persistence Types That Do Not Require a Rule.

Important: If you need to use session ID mapping, you must set the following parameter when configuring each service within the load balancing setup. Also, make sure that no non-persistent connections are routed through the RTSP virtual server.
