Yes, you should expect that it will count each request when you have a OneConnect profile in use because that decision is being made before a tcp connection is made to the node to send such request.

It's recommended because over OneConnect request with different cookies can be directed to different members on request by request basis? So to summarize, when Fastest is used: 1. Without OneConnect outstanding counter is increased when first request is send over TCP connection, following request over the same connection are ignored. Then it means that counter is decreased when last reply is send and TCP connection is closed - so actually it's more like TCP connection counter not request counter - Am I right? 2. With OneConnect counter is increased for each request transmitted over TCP connection and decreased wen each response is received meaning we can have one TCP connection to the server but 5 outstanding request?
