Is it possible that BIG-IP loadbalances TCP Packets indivisually ?
One client sends a large amount of packets on a TCP connection to VIP of BIG-IP which loadbalances Log ser...

If you want to just arbitrarily load-balance each TCP packet individually, you could try this rule:
when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
TCP::collect
}
when CLIENT_DATA {
LB::detach
TCP::release
TCP::collect
}This will cause the back-end server to be detached on each packet then then the load-balancing engine would re-load balance and re-attach to the new server.
If you have some sort of transactional boundary that you want to load-balance, then you would need to add logic to search for that boundary and do the detach & release logic much more carefully. There are some examples of this on codeshare under transactional load-balancing.
