F5 Connection Rate Limit for VIP

Has anyone implemented Connection Rate Limit under the Virtual Servers -Advanced Configuration what do clients see after the particular rate limit is setup for a VIP.

Clients sending requests after the Connection Rate Limit has been exceeded will receive TCP packet in response where RST flag is set to 1. Or in other words, just "Connection Reset".

 

This is not true. It still works for not limited clients, which is how it is supposed to work...

    I think the next sentence pretty much clarifies what you have elaborated.
