NimbostratusTCP / UDP connection session
Working on an application which requires load balancing. The application uses both TCP and UDP in the following way. TCP starts and controls the session, while UDP is used for the data transport. We are running into a problem in that the load balancer treats each connection as unique. What I am looking to do with iRules, is ensure then when a TCP connection is open between a client and server, that all subsequent traffic utilizes the same server. Any ideas?

Can't you assign a persistence profile like source ip addresses on each virtual servers? (if you have one VS for each protocol) ? you just need to check the persist accross VS and assign this persistence profile
To do it with iRules: you'll need to use universal persistence profile and choose a criteria which exists on both protcol to create the persistency (source IP address, some data in the payload, ...)
