NimbostratusMaximum "Ratio" Values for Pool Members?
We are interested in using ratio-based routing to migrate traffic between old & new systems over a period of time. I'd like to analyze a little bit of traffic sent that way before I move meaningful volume.
What are the maximum configurable values for individual ratio weight?
If I have 4 systems, can I do 100,100,1,1? 1000,1000,1,1?
Thanks!

Ajmal_2608Hi Charlie,
The ratio parameter will accept anything which is an integer in the range 0 - 65535

I was able to test, and it appears that the acceptable ranges are actually 1 - 100. Entering a value over 100 triggered an alarm.

Hmmm,
Actually people never use the ratio very frequently for the requirement like yours, (you will rarely have 2 servers with configuration like 1:100 or 1:1000). However what is the exact need you are looking to achieve out of this testing ?
An iRule can help better to manipulate the number of connections and send traffic to specific nodes
- Ajmal_2608See if this helps
