So with RR a connection will go to the same server until a packet with
TCP FIN is received from the client? Basically with round robin a client
is redirected to real server when it wants to establish a tcp connection
and all packets belonging to this connection goes to the same real
server. Whereas with source hashing even when the connection is finished
(packet with FIN flag) subsequent connections from the same ip will go
to the same real server.
