What is the recommended TCP Profile settings monitor settings for ISO 8583 traffic in F5 Big IP ?
Thanks for the quick response. I will work with the Load Test team and the Application team to fine tune their respective items based on the recommendations provided.
Regarding the use of FastL4, since this environment is handling ISO8583 financial transaction traffic, we should continue to use a custom Standard TCP profile rather than FastL4. The Standard TCP profile allows us to retain critical features such as connection state management, iRules for payload inspection and persistence, and better visibility for troubleshooting — all of which are essential for financial applications.
FastL4 may provide higher throughput with lower latency, but it does so at the cost of reduced TCP handling and application awareness, which makes it unsuitable for ISO8583 transactional workloads.
Any suggestions regarding this deployment are really appreciated.
