Session Persistence in NGF v2.6.3 with NGINX OSS vs NGINX Plus

Projects NGINX Gateway Fabric
1

We can see that in NGF 2.4.0 session persistence was made available for ip_hash in NGINX OSS and cookie-based sessionPersistence in NGINX Plus.

We are now at NGINX Gateway Fabric v2.6.3 and NGINX OSS 1.31.1, is there work now or in the future to be able to use cookie-based sessionPersistence in NGINX OSS?

This is in relation to our ingress-nginx migration for the annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/affinity: "cookie" and the multiple nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/session-cookie-* annotations you use with it.

Hey, We’re waiting on clarification from the Gateway API team on the session persistence spec before we can incorporate upstream changes and extend support to NGINX OSS. We’ve intentionally held off to ensure full conformance with Gateway API which is currently facing some delays on their end.
