Nimbostratusraito load balancing not working
Hi,
We are seeing a weird issue with ratio load balancing on ltm 10.2 Have tried both node and member methods, same result. Basically the connections are not weighted anywhere near what we have ...

The order is not of big importance.
How the above can happen if we have persistent on source IP and time of IP address reassign is much grater than persist timeout

Chris is correct, that's how it works.. In your example you stated 3 different client IPs

3 different clients IPs.
1st client makes connection (TCP session) - 1st node. 1st. client makes second TCP session - again 1st node because of the persistence.
2nd client makes connection (TCP session) - 1st node (because of the ratio)
3th client opens TCP session - 2nd node
If that's the case, source address persistence doesn't come into play.. So yes the order does kinda matter in understanding ratios. Like Chris said, it's basically round robin until ever pool member has a connection, then it's starts it's ratio algorithm.
