NSX ALB supports various Load-balancing methods:

Consistent Hash

Core Affinity

Fastest Response

Fewest Servers

Least Connections

Least Load

Round Robin

NSX ALB supports various Persistence types:

System-Persistence-App-Cookie

System-Persistence-Client-IP

System-Persistence-Custom-HTTP-Header

System-Persistence-HTTP-Cookie

System-Persistence-TLS
