understanding ltm policy

1. For your "myhttp" policy, there is a rule attached which is not provided here. But it looks at the rules (only 1 in this case), and upon the first match, it stops processing and performs the associated action. If there were more than one rule, none would be processsed after the first match. The "forwarding" control means that the rule action will be something like choosing a pool member, inserting a header, applying SNAT, etc.

    

2. Strategy "all-match" means that it doesnt stop processing after the first match. You may have multiple rules to apply to the traffic. All of them will be evaluated.

    

3. Best match strategy means that only the most specific match will be processed.
