If you are talking profile timeout as in TCP, then that is how long the BIG-IP waits before it tears the connection down. HERE is some info on that.

 

Persistence timeout is how long a client has to return to the application before their persistence is dropped. Meaning they will be load balanced to a new server and not return to the same one. Here is some info on that!

 

Hope that helps! If it does, please up-vote and select this answer, it'd be greatly appreciated!
