Connection limits with persistence

I'm trying to understand how connection limits work, especially with persistence (cookie based) enabled. Lets say I have a pool member with a connection limit of 50 defined for the member (not node)...

Hey Bryan,

 

Based on " target="_blank">Solution 9849, I think that the 51st connection will get a) LB'd to another pool member, provided one is available and not at it's connection limit or b) get a TCP-RST if no other pool member is available. Of course, this behavior could be modified by the TCP queuing options in 11.5.x and the 'Override Connection Limit' option of the Cookie Persistence profile.
