NimbostratusDo you understand the Fastest mode in version 9.x?
Have you read the following article?
SOL6406: Change in Behavior: Fastest, Observed, and Predictive load balancing modes
Click here
These facts do not have the descriptions in the manual and the release note either.
Do you correctly understand the Fastest, Observed, and Predictive load balancing modes?

taro_112311No, I do not have particular questions. However, I wonder about the following two points.
1. The description of those modes in the manual is wrong very over a long period of time. Therefore, I think that most people has misunderstood these modes.
2. The name of "Fastest" is improper. The fastest mode doesn't take into account the response speed any longer.

flomkrl_29950Does fast L4 profile is able to work with Fastest (node) ?
From the same article https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/6000/400/sol6406.html , there is : "The Fastest load balancing mode requires both a Layer 7 and a TCP profile to be configured for the virtual server."- taro_112311I think that a virtual server with a Fast L4 profile will fall back to Least Connections load balancing mode.
