Consistent Hash
Core Affinity
Fastest Response
Fewest Servers
Least Connections

Round Robin
Persistence: The persistence profile will ensure that the same user sticks to the same server for a desired duration of time (e.g. Client IP)
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
