Hi Victor,

 

it looks straight forward.

 

I guess, your clientside tcp profile has just a modified timeout and is based on the default tcp profile?

 

Your virtual addresses and floating self IPs are all assigned to unit 1, right?

 

Sometimes I noticed a significant delay with the statistics updates.

 

But I was under the impression, that this might be related to still open connections. But you proved by your iRule, that this is not the case here ...

 

Btw, as you are using the virtual server for SCP, it makes sense to run it in proxy mode. In case it would just be plain SSH, I would switch to Performance L4 to lower the introduced latency.

 

From my perspective this is a case for the F5 support folks.

 

Thanks, Stephan
