Actually now I am confused.

 

Come to think of a traffic flow, following my IP address scheme:

 

A client (IP Address A.B.C.D) connects to Virtual Server 111.111.111.111 (F5)

 

F5 then forward it to the pool member, in this case 192.168.13.250 on TCP port 20000.

 

 

Then after this finishes, the client (A.B.C.D) sends a Reset flag, stating that it has finished sending packet. No more packets left. F5 acknowledges it.

 

So where and when does the Oneconnect kick in, and how does it keep the TCP 20000 open for other packet to be used?
