- Another possible value for `extractorfunc` is `client.ip` which will categorize requests based on client source ip.
- Lastly `extractorfunc` can take the value of `request.header.ANY_HEADER` which will categorize requests based on `ANY_HEADER` that you provide.

### Sticky sessions

Sticky sessions are supported with both load balancers.
When sticky sessions are enabled, a cookie called `_TRAEFIK_BACKEND` is set on the initial request.
When sticky sessions are enabled, a cookie is set on the initial request.
The default cookie name is an abbreviation of a sha1 (ex: `_1d52e`).
On subsequent requests, the client will be directed to the backend stored in the cookie if it is still healthy.
If not, a new backend will be assigned.

For example:
To activate sticky session:

```toml
[backends]
[backends.backend1]
[backends.backend1.loadbalancer.stickiness]
```

To customize the cookie name:

```toml
[backends]
[backends.backend1]
[backends.backend1.loadbalancer.stickiness]
cookieName = "my_cookie"
```

The deprecated way:

```toml
[backends]
[backends.backend1]
[backends.backend1.loadbalancer]
sticky = true
```

### Health Check

A health check can be configured in order to remove a backend from LB rotation as long as it keeps returning HTTP status codes other than `200 OK` to HTTP GET requests periodically carried out by Traefik.
The check is defined by a pathappended to the backend URL and an interval (given in a format understood by [time.ParseDuration](https://golang.org/pkg/time/#ParseDuration)) specifying how often the health check should be executed (the default being 30 seconds).
Each backend must respond to the health check within 5 seconds.
