Searching a solution for pre-pooling connections

Hi,

 

I am looking for a way to pre-pool connections with F5 LTM. The idea is to set up connections to a high-latency destination in advance before sending the first byte or request to save the latency of the TCP (and optionally TLS) setup. I currently have a setup for this on a proxy server, but would prefer to implement it on F5.

 

Please note that this is not just about connection-reuse, but already the first connection has to benefit from the faster connection setup. I thought of having OneConnect enabled connections triggered via SIDEBAND::connect, but I don't see a way to establish more than one connection that way.

 

Thanks,

 

Frank
