multiple requests in single tcp connection via irule without oneconnect

Can you show us the output of tmsh list /ltm virtual

but I found with http profile,even there is no oneconnect profile,it still can lb multiple http requests in single tcp connection

how did you know e.g. logging, tcpdump/ssldump? can you post it here?

yeah,I made one test to prove this:

ltm virtual vs1 {
    destination 10.131.113.246:http
    ip-protocol tcp
    mask 255.255.255.255
    profiles {
        http-no-overflow { }
        serverssl {
            context serverside
        }
        tcp-lan-optimized {
            context serverside
        }
        tcp-wan-optimized {
            context clientside
        }
    }
    rules {
        rule1
        rule2
    }
    source 0.0.0.0/0
    source-address-translation {
        type automap
    }
    vs-index 84

}

in the single tcp connection client :10.80.8.245 port 18758 ----- VS 10.131.113.246 port 80 I made insert selected pool as header to http_response.

first image shows response from pool1 10.131.113.73

first image shows response from pool2 10.131.113.88

there is no another 3-way handshake between the first and the second request/response, isn't it?

do you have tcpdump on bigip?

just wondering if there is any intermediate proxy device between client and bigip.

unRuleY said the simliar thing before.

i see. that means you explicitly select a pool/pool member in the irules, doesn't it?

You can ensure that the existing server-side connection is detached by following one of the following two recommendations:

• Applying a OneConnect profile to the virtual server
• Explicitly coding the iRule to select a pool under every possible condition
