Thanks for the excellent explanation. Does the VS type have an affect? I am under the impression for a standard VS type, the 3WHS needs to complete with the client before a SYN is sent to the pool member, so the above explanation aligns perfectly.
But for a Performance L4 VS, it passed the SYN to the server before completing the 3WHS. https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K8082
Does this mean that we negate the benefits of SYN cookie when using a perf L4 a VS type?
