FastL4 vs Optimized TCP Profiles
We run active/standby 6400 (platform D63a) LTM's for our production applications. They are accessed via clients on a private network with an average latency around 80ms. Nearly all of our virtual se...
- Jan 20, 2009Maybe it's about the right time to have you post your VIP config from the bigip.conf. It's possible you have other settings applied to the VIP which conflict with a FastL4 profile??? Also it might be helpful to paste the values of the TCP profile you have applied.

I agree with smp, fastL4 will be better unless you need the features above tcp. You probably won't see much impact on the servers, though if the tcp overhead becomes a problem on the server side, you could implement oneconnect with the optimized tcp profiles, and that will reuse connections to your servers so that the high cost of setup and teardown is eliminated. There are a lot of ways to skin the cat and plenty of nuances in every environment that there isn't a one size fits all approach, and the functionality is there exactly for this reason.
