Martin, while you reply then I have one more question, we have many API server behind F5 and our client all over the world they making API calls to our server and API request is very small, in short out application isn't browsable. What profile I should use for short live calls? Currently we are using default TCP profile, after reading your post I am curious, so should I change to WAN/LAN?
