Send transaction to all the members of a pool

Is it possible to send a TCP transaction to all the members of a pool using iRule? I read an older post that for HTTP traffic, this is possible with the HTTP::retry. But, I couldn't find anything like...
application delivery
dev
devops
iRules

Sorry, I meant clone pool--not mirroring. And no, I don't think there is a way to replay a TCP packet simultaneously or serially.

 

 

I'm not sure how it would work even if you could "multiplex" the requests in the way you describe. How would LTM know which response to send back to the client. I can also imagine replaying the same request to multiple destinations would add a significant amount of latency to the response.

 

 

Can you sync the data between the servers at the app layer?
