Diff in pool and virtual server connections

Hi Harry,

 

 

I looked and found that the same situation existed on some of my Virtual Servers. After running some additional tests in a controlled environment this is what I found:

 

 

Virtual Server Connections:

 

The Virtual Server connections will reflect the number of individual connections that a browser will try and open (most browsers will open 1 to 6 TCP Connections to download a website faster) to increase the download speed of a site.

 

 

Pool Connections:

 

The pool connections will on affect ACTIVE connections (information that is actively being sent and/or received to a specific node). It will not reflect the number of load balancing decisions / allocations that have been made to a node in the pool.

 

 

Hope this helps.
