How to Generate Visitor ID/UUID

We're trying to drop a unique visitor cookie that we control the persistence (i.e. 6 months age). I don't see anything in the iRule reference that close to helping.

 

 

Any recommendation on how to generate an unique identifier, or ideally UUID?

 

 

I see some UUID TCL libraries at http://tcllib.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tcllib/tcllib/modules/uuid/uuid.tcl?revision=1.9&view=markup but I don't believe these can be loaded into the F5?

 

 

Once I have that I can handle all the cookies, etc. I just need a unique id generator.

 

 

Thanks, Gary
