How does the F5 compute for the Connections(Current, Maximum and Total)

Hi Guys,

 

Would like to ask if How does the F5 compute for the Connections(Current, Maximum and Total)? is it based on the time out settings you set?

 

Can you also define the differences of the 3? I do have an idea not sure though if its correct. Please correct me if I'm wrong

 

Current - Real time connections Maximum - Maximum connection reach within the time out set? Total - Total connections pool have within the time out?

 

Thank you!

    Current - Current number of connections to virtual server at the time you pulled up the stats page.

     

    Maximum - The highest number of connections ever seen at that virtual server.

     

    Total - The sum total of all connections on that virtual server since stats began.

     

    Timeouts are not relevant.
