Does the performance layer4 loadbalance udp packet by packet? On the standard I´ve got that configured in the udp profile, but the there is no udp profile option on the performance layer 4. But I am checking we can do a stateless udp vip instead.. I found a article describing the setup and that it´s preferable for high traffic udp vips, such as syslog and dns.

    Hi , 

    Yes right , stateless VS is  recommended in case of UDP connections and I think it will be the most perfect option for syslog , you can find this in this article : https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K13675

    So IF you need " Datagram LB " option , you have to rely on standard or stateless >> but in case of syslog use " stateless " type and attach your custom UDP profile which enabled " Datagram LB " option.
