NimbostratusCan I Load Balance non HTTP Applications Through F5
Here is a simple but perhaps silly question. Can I use the F5 to provide persistence and load balancing for a non-http application? I want to load balance using other methods other than rough-robin. It is a TCP application but does not have http headers.
Thanks,

Of course...
For TCP load balancing, you can use multiple lb methods like round robin, least connection, ... and some persistence methods like source address.
You can even try to decode first tcp packet (if you find protocol specifications) for lb decision or persistence!
