NimbostratusPersistence rebalance on F5
NimbostratusI did a quick research about the Cisco option , and it does look similar to oneconnect. However, I don't know enough about Cisco CSM to confirm that works the same way as F5 oneconnect.
With the mask of 255.255.255.255, only the same IP will reuse the connection. So, that is almost the same as not use oneconnect, in relation to what the server sees and the number of open connections.
Have you tried without oneconnect?
In case you have not read yet, he is the oneconnect overview solution:

NimbostratusHi, sorry for the late answer.
There will be two one connect profile, one for SNAT (/24) and other without SNAT (/32), in one http request there are multiple connections, thats why we need to use oneconnect.
In fact, we migrate a couple of vserver from Cisco CSM with persistence-rebalance to our F5 without oneconnect profile, and the connections were four times higher.
i was testing with a vserver, and with oneconnect profile and no persistence profile, i always get a 402 answer from my http server, but if i add a persistence profile like source address, works fine, but i cant use source address because there will be a lot of connection using only one server for forever, with cookie persistence its kinda weird the behavior, but there is a KB where indicates that we have to use an irule to solve this (an ugly solution i think).
Checking the configuration in the cisco CSM, i was looking for persistence profiles or something like that, but only use "persistence-rebalance" no source address, or cookie or something.
im going to continue with the lab and see if something is missing.
Thanks! Felipe.
