ratio-least-connections-member doesn't work as expected

I never played with ratio least connection member algorithm, but it seems it is like that:

 

It evaluate number of connection * member ratio, then do the same as least connection

 

If you do tests with only one curl, when the request is ended, connection closes, so number of connection for each member equals 0

 

Least connection algorithm do round robin on all member matching same connection number
