LTM 11.4.1 - Trying to Identify equivalent features to cisco ACE

hi Antony,

1. Persistence-rebalance -> Use a Oneconnect profile with a 255.255.255.255 mask. This is to make sure we dont use the connection reuse feature of Oneconnect, and use Oneconnect only for 'load-balancing every HTTP request inside the same TCP connection' like exactly what persistence-rebalance in Cisco ACE does.
2. header-maxparse-length -> the default 'Maximum Header Size' in F5 is 32768 bytes. You can change this to what you want using a custom HTTP profile.
3. content-maxparse-length - I could not find an exact equivalent. But i think by adding a http-compression profile, you can take care of this making the F5 to compress the http content.
4. parsing non-strict -> This feature in ACE ignores malformed cookies and still processes the other cookies. But F5 seems to just stop parsing the packet if it finds a malformed cookie that some of the legacy applications use. There is not option to alter this behavior of F5 like in ACE, unless we can write some iRule coding i believe.
