Answer
ClientIP keeps the same Pod for a client; None performs round-robin load balancing.
Quick Answer
ClientIP: all requests from the same client IP go to the same Pod (sticky sessions) — useful for stateful protocols. None: each request can go to any healthy Pod — better load distribution. ClientIP is implemented via iptables DNAT rules that track client IP affinity with a configurable timeout (default 10800s).
