NimbostratusTCP Rule question
When I'm using this iRule:
when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
TCP::collect
}
when CLIENT_DATA {
if { [TCP::payload] contains "XXX" } {
pool XXX
}
elseif...
Well, actually, you are partially correct. The behavior is different if you have an HTTP profile. When using the HTTP profile (or fasthttp), the completion of each response causes the lb decision to be unlocked so a new pool can be chosen for the subsequent request. In that case, it doesn't actually detach unless the pool is changed. However, when using oneconnect, an implicit detach is done after every response. With regard to pipelining, yes, you would need to be careful about that. Perhaps you should add a variable to indicate a request is pending and you shouldn't process the next request until the response is received. This is behavior the http profile normally takes care of. I'm not sure why you aren't using the http profile, but I assume you have some reason.
