TCP Request Queueing

Hi,

I know, that this is a quite old question, but while looking for informations on TCP request queue, I stumbled over this question.

It's a well documented fact, that the TCP request queue may not be configured higher than the cumulative total amount of connection limits defined for every pool member. So in you case, 2 connections is the correct limit. When you configure i.e. 3 pool member and every pool member allows a limit of 10 connections, the max. number of connections for the request queue will be 30.

You can find this information in the manual: https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/ltm-implementations-11-1-0/27.html

The maximum number of connection requests within the queue, which equates to the maximum number of connections within the pool, pool member, or node. Specifically, the maximum number of connection requests within the queue cannot exceed the cumulative total number of connections for each pool member or node. Any connection requests that exceed the capacity of the request queue are dropped.
