Hi Stephen,

 

 

F5's implementation of CARP definitely includes the pool member IP and port. So you could use multiple ports on the same IP to implement "ratio" now.

 

 

There's a fix which supports pool member ratios. You can open a Support case and ask about "ID386769 - Modify CARP persistence to utilize any pool mbr ratio/bias". I'm not sure when it will be added to released versions though.
