What is the equivalent of Cisco ACE Least-Bandwidth Predictor Method on LTM?

Hi,

 

I have a customer who is migrating from ACE to LTM and one of their services uses the Least-Bandwidth Predictor Method: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/app_ntwk_services/data_center_app_services/ace_appliances/vA3_1_0/configuration/slb/guide/slbgd/rsfarms.htmlwp1072278

 

AFAIK there is no equivalent on LTM as it doesn't collect metrics on bandwith, only on connections.

 

I am starting to resign myself on having to use Predictive LB Method.

 

Any other ideas?

 

Thanks

    Either 'Observed' or 'Predictive' would likely be best but bepend on the type of traffic processed and average time of sessions/connections.

     

    If you can provide more information on the setup and the load balancing requirements might be a better option?
