CirrostratusConnection limit for a pool
Hi,
What is that? Pool is only object without Connection limit setting. Is that sum of connection limits for all pool members (make sense only if all members has limit set I guess). If above is true, what is usage for pool limit? I can't see any settings/actions related to pool limit. Only setting that could be related might be TCP request queuing (for VS without persistence), but even here queuing can be triggered by change of pool status (to Unavailable). Pool status change is as far as I understand caused by all pool members exceeding connection limit at the same time. So I wonder why such term was used in https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/ltm-implementations-11-2-1/29.htmlconceptid TCP request queuing provides the ability to queue connection requests that exceed the capacity of connections for a pool, pool member, or node Why pool but not virtual server?

One of the uses is for weighted least connections load balancing. Suggest reading an SOL on this LB method.
dragonflymrHi, I know more or less this LB. It's not using something called pool connection limit, only it has required condition that all pool members in a pool using this LB have connection limit set. So still not really explanation what term "pool connection limit" is meaning - except it is some kind of mental shortcut. Piotr
