Is there a TCP connection ceiling for BIGIP?

 

eg. I have alot of customers coming in to my web app through a corporate proxy. Is there a TCP connection limit on the BIGIP coming in from a single IP? If so, how can I can I get around this issue?

    Hi,

     

     

    There is a limit with TCP of 2^16 = 65535 theoretical connections between two hosts. Other than that I don't think LTM enforces any limit on the number of TCP connections one client can open to a VIP.

     

     

    What is the issue you're seeing? Have you been able to capture tcpdumps of the failure? Is there anything interesting logged to /var/log/ltm on LTM?
