    Not all the features of LTM are in Advanced WAF. From my understanding it is also dependent up the version of software you are running.

     

    In 13.1.0.1 only three load balancing methods were supported. Round Robin, Ratio(Member), and Ratio(Node).

     

    There was also a limitation on the number of pool members.

     

    In 13.1.0.2 the pool member limitation was removed and additional load balancing methods were supported.

     

    Round Robin

     

    Ratio (member)

     

    Least Connections (member)

     

    Ratio (node)

     

    Least Connections (node)

     

    Weighted Least Connection (member)

    In addition to JW's post, according to my documentation, AWAF only supports Cookie and Source IP persistence. So that is something that is also different from the LTM module.
