NimbostratusSingle node serving more traffic than other nodes in the pool.
Hi Team - I have a question on the below setup, i am a starter in F5 and recently came across in F5 that one node in the pool is serving more traffic than others.
- load balancing method is - Round robin
- no Persistance configured.
I am not sure what is making one node to send and receive more traffic than other nodes.
Can someone let me know the reason for this behavior.. Thanks in advance.

can you confirm how you "measure" the traffic here ?
is it number of connections (TCP) number of requests per second ? are you using HTTP 1.0, 1.1, 2.0 ?
are you servers using the same stack ?
Some TCP behaviours on your servers can cause one to close connections faster as an example.
Do you have OneConnect activated on serverside ?
sorry for not really answering your question but there are so many parameters to take in account before answering, i prefer having more details before providing some valid points to help you identify the reason of this traffic difference.

Can you try withe least connect(member) or please provide other details as mentioned above reply. sometime round robin had issues and i tried least connc(member) and its resolved
ziakhan50I tried disabling the node and enabling it back. Still same issue, I tried least connection mode too, same.

As there is no persistency, I hope there is no persistency entries saved.. please check and confirm if.. if then aswell your load balancing not working expected, I suggested to raise a support ticket including traffic captures and qkview(also I hope you only having basic profiles in vip(http, standard profiles)
