there is some example in IP::addr wiki page.

additionally, if you are using route domain, there is a known issue which is described in askf5 sol below.

 

 

sol12301: The 'class' iRule command does not honor route domain specifications within an IP class

Thanks for the help.

 

Actually we have too much traffic load from some specific client IP's and i want to make a separate pool for that clients. so that if request comes from their network that should be routed to separate pool.

 

Is there any other way for doing this rather then i rule?

 

I'd recommend the iRule route myself. The only real alternatives are to give your 'demanding' client a different domain name that resolves to a different Virtual Server IP or possible use a different port so you can configure a dedicated VS for them. A HTTP Class might also be an option allowing you to keep the same domain name and VS but this is only workable if you can identify the client in some unique way using the URI, not source IP address.
