The TCP connection setup behavior for a Standard virtual server varies depending on whether a TCP profile or a TCP and Layer 7 profile, such as HTTP, is associated with the virtual server.

 

Hi Jason, While going through Eric's 201 guide , I found this to be confusing. How can tcp behavior be different for a Standard virtual server, as i am aware , there is always a default http profile in the backend. Can you help me understand this.

 

Thanks! Sukesh Tandon
