F5 LTM vs Cisco ACE timeouts

Configuring a Timeout for IP Address Stickiness

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/app_ntwk_services/data_center_app_services/ace_appliances/vA3_1_0/configuration/slb/guide/slbgd/sticky.html#wp999676

The sticky timeout specifies the period of time that the ACE keeps (if possible) the IP address sticky information for a client connection in the sticky table after the latest client connection terminates. The ACE resets the sticky timer for a specific sticky-table entry each time that the appliance opens a new connection or receives a new HTTP GET on an existing connection that matches that entry. High connection rates may cause the premature age-out of sticky table entries.

To configure an IP address sticky timeout, use the timeout minutes command in sticky-IP configuration mode. The syntax of this command is as follows:

timeout minutes

For the minutes argument, enter an integer from 1 to 65535. The default is 1440 minutes (24 hours).
