CirrostratusIncosistent forwarding of HTTP/2 connections with layered virtual
Hi, I'm using a layered virtual configuration: Tier1: Virtual applying SNI-Routing (only SSL persistence profile and LTM policy as described in https://www.devcentral.f5.com/kb/technicalarticles/s...

CirrostratusI should add, that I came to the above conclusion, because of the information from the ASM/AWF event log. I see "invalid hostnames", like "piwik.example.com" in the policy for "www.example.com" appearing. The behavior of the forwarding may be correct, but wrongly shown in the event logs of the WAF. 😵

CirrostratusIt was definetely not a false positve. There was an issues, which the customer didn't see until now. 🙃
However, the fix was to disable HTTP/2 on the tier2 virtual. So there is definetely an issue with the layered virtual forwarding, when HTTP/2 is enabled. My primary intention to use layered virtual / SNI-routing is to save IP addresses from the public space. I'm still confused about the fact, that the browser doesn't create a new TCP connection for another hostname, although the IP address and port is identical... 😕
