The use of POOL in these statistics doesn't have anything to do with a load balancing pool. This pool refers to BIG-IP's internal memory pool. The GLOBAL_STATISTIC_MEM_POOL_TOTAL is the total amount of memory BIG-IP has in it's working set to store configurations and the connection state table. The GLOBAL_STATISTIC_MEM_POOL_USED is the amount of that total that is currently in use.

 

 

When the documentation says that the total value is 90 percent of acutal memory, actual means the total amount of physical memory on the device.
