LTM - Need TCP "write to client" time on every transaction

Just trying to replicate existing functions available in the web browser.

 

 

The current system uses Netscape Enterprise web server with several "Custom Server Application Functions" where the SAF is looking directly at the TCP connection and reporting on the observations on the connection. This has been measured and reported on every transaction for 10+ years so the need is pretty entrenched. The "write-to-client" time is a popular indicator and without such an indicator from the F5, the migration to F5 will no go very far.

 

 

Don't have budget or desire to obtain/install/support additional components. Just want to get the visibility into the client side connection from the TCP stack on the F5, for every transaction that flows through the box.

 

 

Are there any hidden [TCP::methods] that can return client side TCP connection statistics?

 

Are there any ways to enable such capture/reporting?

 

 

The RFE request was kicked back "... you will need to pursue it through a CSR ..."

 

 

I am taking it that I am out of luck. The LTM does not now nor are there plans to offer runtime statistics on client connections, either via iRules or an API. True?
