Message-based load balancing problem
Hi,
So far, it has been a hassle for me to configure MBLB. (see my first question:
https://devcentral.f5.com/Community/GroupDetails/tabid/1082223/aft/2163630/asg/50/Default.aspx,
That problem was essentially caused by error in network configuration. As https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iRules.TCP__notify.ashx indicated, "the USER_REQUEST event will not be raised until the server-side TCP connection is complete".
However, the current problem is that it took a long time for the response sent by servers to reach the client. I'm pretty sure the server sent the response back successfully without delay (send() returned actual number of bytes sent). I also tested the setting with http GET sent with a browser. The requests were properly forwarded to the pool and got a response (error response since the server doesn't support http) from the server quickly. What could be the problem?
Thanks!
Shu
