CirrocumulusVirtual Service for Proxy Server: timeouts when traffic goes through LTM
Hi, we've got since a few years our proxy Server (McAfee Webgateway, now SkyHigh) behind LTM. We had originally 2 Members, later 4 Members, every Member had about 5000 tcp Connections, no problems....

Cirrocumulusanother thing: if we have only one Member in the Pool, there are no Timeouts, if I enable a second, then Timeouts appear

Employeeso if you add the 2nd pool member in and the timeouts appear then likely the 2nd pool member has some type of issue. Do you have pcaps of traffic going to 2nd pool when a timeout occurs?
I also recommend using tcp_wan_optimized for client side and tcp_lan_optimized for server side tcp profiles. The default profiles may not have window scaling enabled. Additionally the tcp progressive profile Overview of the f5-tcp-progressive profile may be of interest but start with the other two first. Traffic should be better optimized with those in place
