Server affinity - madhusudana30/AlternativeJPAForWebSphere GitHub Wiki

Server affinity refers to the ability of a load balancer or router to send a user's request to the same server where their session was initiated. If session-failover is supported by the application or networking layout, server affinity is not required, as it doesn't matter which server serves the request.
