Any6.any Entry in connection table

This has been confusing me always. Why am I seeing 'any6.any' entry in show sys connection table for some virtual servers? I can see this is two columns. I read it will be because of oneconnect, but my virtual server does not have any one connect profile attached. I also read that it might be when load balancing decision is not taken, but I am seeing this always, even when access is working fine.

 

Please someone help me understand the correct reason.

    Refer this article to understand more about any6:any

     

    The any6 entry in the server section of the table occurs when a client connects to a virtual server, but a load balancing decision has not yet been made. The any6 entry refers to an undetermined IPv6 address. The :any or .0 entries refer to any port, even if the protocol being used does not use ports, such as ICMP.
