Updated iRule not applied to existing connections?
When I update an iRule it looks like any existing connections will continue to use the old version. Can anyone shed some light on this behavior?

Hi Arie,
Theoretically, existing connections shouldn't be affected by a change to the iRule--they should continue to use the old version of the iRule. Spark commented on this in a post here:

But I and others have seen some odd behavior when updating iRules on actively used virtual servers as described in the post. If you're able to reproduce the issue, you could open a case with F5 Support and ask them to help you investigate the issue.
