iRule Code

I don't get it.

 

 

If the connection is accepted between LTM to the pool member server, by this time or at this time, LTM already knows the client side IP and

 

if it matches the IP mentioned in the rule, then LTM shud discard the pkt from the client right?

 

 

Can't LTM identify that client needs to be discarded before making a connection with the pool member?

 

 

 

I picked up the irule from the below link
