Linerate UDP virtual servers.

Question is can you create a virtual server using linerate that will load balance UDP connections? I have a request from a client to set up a VIP for UDP port 5060 in support of their SIP connections...

Hello Jeremy. The LineRate system does not support UDP Virtual Servers, just like you noticed. It looks like you found the information about UDP in our docs, but here's the link to it just in case:

It is possible to pass UDP traffic through the device, too, but this behavior is more like a router rather than a load balancer:

Hi Andrew, Thank you for verifying what i thought.. I will be looking into other resources for my clients request. I would hope F5 offers a virtual LB product that would support UDP virtual servers just need to research what that may be. Thanks again for taking the time to answer my question. Jeremy
