Connection calculation in a topology
Hi All,
I'm newbies in F5 network. Can I know how to calculate connections in a topology? From my understanding, a connection is calculated from one node to another. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I know this is a silly question but I just want to make sure my understandings.

Your question is not very clear - can you clarify it?
Are you asking about DNS/GTM Topology balancing?

Hi S Blakely,
Thank for your reply.
What I tried to asked is the connection between one node to another node in network diagram is consider a connection? I know it sounds a bit silly but I just wants to make sure my understandings

In my opinion, not really.
For a Network diagram, I would call the connection between two objects a "link" - the point-to-point transport over which network data can flow.
A connection is a tcp connection between two devices established on
source ip:source port -> destination ip:destination port
Connections may traverse a number of links and intervening devices (bridges/routers/switches/etc)
I hope this is clear.
