NimbostratusCan F5 load balancer disconnect socket after each transaction
CirrusAre you talking about removing established TCP connection after HTTP Request/Response ? There may be ways to achieve this but this is inefficient utilization of resources. Setting up and tearing down TCP connections consumes resources on the device. If you can explain the end goal (any specific application performance requirement), someone might be able to suggest a better way of achieving it.
NimbostratusActually both servers behind F5 load balancer hosted services (tcp and http) on different ports. http services are getting load balancer. However the tcp services keep established the connections which stick the request coming on only one node and don't utilized the other server behind F5 load balancer.

Use OneConnect with /32 net mask. See the Blakely's answer for more information.

I configured the virtual server settings as below
Source Address Translation = AutoMAP
OneConnect profile = oneconnect
But still only tcp session established to one node. Below is the snapshot

Use /32 net mask. There should be multiple clients initiating connection to the VS for load balancing the HTTP Requests across the pool members.

Could not understand. Do you have any snapshot where we can define /32 please also note that its a non http transaction?

Source Mask within the OneConnect profile.
