May i know what is OneConnect for and why is a must to enable it?

 

When you load balance to a server in a pool, the BIG-IP establishes direct TCP connections with that pool member (as a proxy would). If you're doing "content switching", where you're sending traffic to different pools based on some request criteria, you may run into a situation where the BIG-IP has an established TCP connection with one pool member and won't immediately sever that connection and start a new one somewhere else. The OneConnect profile (applied in the virtual server and in the associated HTTP profile) allows you to safely switch between pool members.

 

Please see the following solution article for more details:
