How does `sticky load balancing affect performance ?
ASticky load balancing ensures that requests for a particular application component continue to be sent to the server that first serviced the request, within a particular session. It is important to understand that sticky load balancing works at the session level; it does not force the same server to handleallrequests for that component, merely requests within a given session (otherwise we would not be doing load balancing at all). In some circumstances, load balancing can be less effective than we might expect. Specifically, if a server cannot handle an incoming request, it must re-route it to a server that can.
