Nimbostratushttp2 from F5 to backend servers / pool nodes
We've configured some Virtual Server with a new http2 profile, and it accepts http2 requests correctly.
But it seems that the requests that are forwarded to the configured pool members are not using http2.
So we need to know if their is an option to configure the F5 as an 'http2 client' so that the http2 protocol is used from the public client comming from the internet to the virtual server, and further to the backend nodes.

It appears the functionality you are trying to implement may not be supported yet. The excerpt below was pulled from the following support page:
Important: The BIG-IP system supports HTTP/2 for client-side connections only. This means that when a client that supports HTTP/2 connects to a virtual server that has an HTTP/2 profile assigned to it, the resulting server-side traffic (such as traffic sent to pool members) is sent over HTTP/1.1.

Is their any way to figure out, if the described feature is on the roadmap for future releases.
Does the F5 team offer some feature request possibility ?
