CirrusConnection Rate Limits - How does BigIP respond?
It will send TCP reset for connection rate limited virtual servers when the limit is reached.

Connection limit on pool members is really for resource management. When you reach the limit it will not send any new connection requests to that server until it falls back below the threshold. It does not affect existing connections.

EmployeeThe question was about connection "rate limiting" not connection limits. I don't believe TCP RST's are sent in the former.
