    Hi ngockq , 

    Well , as long as this is not a HTTP Traffic, keep your eyes on Current connections on each pool member , not bits or Packets. 
    Bifgip loadbalances per TCP connection so that it's doesn't matter the size of this traffic on each connection. 

    So to make sure that your bigip loadbaance well and as expected , look at current connections. 

    > The bits/Packets are very useful when troubleshooting if there is packet loss between client and server side.

ngockq bits in/out and packets in/out will never be symmetrical because typically communication is a request which might be 1 packet and then a response which would be data so probably 4 or more as an example.
