Without being a lawyer, I'd play the prior art card as HAProxy supported
cookie based persistence since 1.0 which dates prior to the patent filling.

That said, I think the patent might actually be a nuisance which might
produce some serious costs and headaches if F5 is determined to enforce
it but from my point of view it will not stand.

Patents... MEH!

Cookie persistence

2011-10-17 Thread Ist Conne 
Hello,

HAProxy is supported cookie-based persistence.
But, cookie-based Load balancing has a patented F5 Networks.
http://www.google.com/patents/about?id=3MYLEBAJ

UltraMonkey-L7 was once implemented, but has now stopped working.
HAProxy do not have this patent-problem?

That the no problem if the backend web server issued cookie?

Thank you.
