Hi

 

If you create a L4 and > VS, the termination of the TCP connexion is done on the F5, so everything related to the TCP connexion is handled in this context AFAIK.

 

Aligning Keep-Alive interval between the F5 to the one between the client and the first F5 does not solve your issue ? Or use a smaller keepalive interval between the F5s ?

 

Also keep in mind that if you have a oneconnect profile on top of that, it changes the behaviour because of connexion re-use.

 

Do not hesitate to come back to us, maybe explaining the root problem behind your keepalive questions.

 

Have a nice day
