I was talking over this with Keith and we found some relevant details in SOL7946 (Click here):
* Client Connects
The Client Connects section represents the total number of new connection flows created by TMM. This includes all connections – it is not limited to any specific type or protocol.
* Client Accepts
The Client Accepts section represents the total number of acknowledgments for TCP (SYN+ACK) segments received from clients for a standard virtual server using a TCP profile. The Client Accepts section differs from the Clients Connects section because the Client Accepts section only reports the number of TCP segments that were accepted by the client.
* Server Connects
The Server Connects section represents the total number of TCP acknowledgment segments (SYN+ACK) received from the server for a standard virtual server using a TCP profile.
This part isn't quite clear to me:
"The Client Accepts section differs from the Clients Connects section because the Client Accepts section only reports the number of TCP segments that were accepted by the client."
Does this mean that the Client Connects statistic measures the number of SYN ACKs sent to the client and Client Accepts measures the number of three way handshakes completed (times that the client ACK'd the SYN ACK)?
Thanks,
