Cookie Insert Persistence Expiration / Timeout Setting
Forgive my ignorance with the topic, but I'm curious about the expiration / timeout settings for Cookie Insert Persistence.
In reading the F5 manuals the verbiage is as follows:
Expiration:
Sets the expiration time of the cookie. Applies to the HTTP Cookie Insert and HTTP Cookie Rewrite methods only. When using the default (checked), the system uses the expiration time specified in the session cookie.
My curiousity surrounds the "session cookie" part of the statement. Which session cookie is this referring to? An application session cookie or something else.
[Edit]
Further down in the doc it says this:
The expiration date for the cookie is set based on the timeout configured on the BIG-IP system.
Not sure what that means either.

Thanks.
