Support for HTTP/2 gRPC with F5 Load Balancer

[vajiraprabuddhaka]

I have a requirement to use bi-directional gRPC server and client. I'm thinking to use F5 L7 Load balancer (https://www.f5.com/services/resources/glossary/load-balancer) for this..

Can I know whether we have support for this with F5 load balancer??

Hi @vajiraprabuddhaka,

beginning with BIG-IP 14.1.0, F5 provides full proxy (client-side and server-side) support for the HTTP/2 protocol. 

Please see:

• K47440400: Overview of BIG-IP support for HTTP/2, h2c
• K04412053: Overview of the BIG-IP HTTP/2 profile and
• Understanding HTTP/2 Activation Modes on BIG-IP on Devcentral

Thanks @Daniel_Wolf I was quite confused whether it supports gRPC in Load Balancer..
