Affinity QOS Policies specify how a series of requests arriving from the same client should be routed.
Under some circumstances a single request may be routed to one of several data sources. A Affinity QOS Policy determines which data source should be selected based on how previous requests from the same client were routed.
The Affinity QOS Policy component inherits from the QOS Policy

| Description | The client connection affinity policy. A client connection affinity allows requests to be routed to a specific data source regardless of the regular routing process. For example, you can set all the requests to be routed to a data source after a write has been completed on that data source. That way, read requests would return results which are consistent with the previous write request. |
|---|---|
| Default Value | none |
| Allowed Values | all-requests-after-first-request - Routes all requests to the same data source to which a previous request has been routed to. This affinity policy simulates tunneling between a client application and a data source. all-requests-after-first-write-request - Routes all requests to the same data source to which a previous write request has been routed to. all-write-requests-after-first-write-request - Routes all write requests to the same data source to which a previous write request has been routed to. This affinity policy is useful for batch updates where a parent entry and its subordinates must be sent to the same data source. first-read-request-after-write-request - Routes the first read request to the same data source to which a previous write request has been routed to. This affinity is useful when a client application performs a read request after a write request and the read request should return results consistent with the write. none - No client connection affinity. |
| Multi-valued | No |

| Description | The period of time during which a client connection affinity policy remains active. A client connection affinity policy remains active until the timeout period expires, unless the timeout value is 0s, in which case the policy remains active until the client connection is closed. |
