- James_ThomsonEmployeeYes, I believe that it will reuse the same server-side connection. I don't know what you mean by the delay of the connection with 2MSL? What is that?
- Asakura_6529NimbostratusThe connection from the same IP address and port number is ignored for a 2MSL time.
- Deb_Allen_18Historic F5 AccountKeepalive connections aren't "recycled" per se, they are kept open & re-used: The connection is maintained open unless idle timeout or max requests is reached. Once the idle timeout or max requests force the server to close the connection, normal close mechanics apply & connection may go into TIME-WAIT for 2MSL, preventing connections to the same IP:port tuple. (YMMV depending on any stack optimizations for faster socket re-use.)
- Asakura_6529NimbostratusThere is Reverse Proxy on the client side of BIG-IP, and it has translated source IP address by PAT. When Reverse Proxy reuses the same port number too early, the delay of the connection due to 2MSL is occurred.
- Deb_Allen_18Historic F5 AccountI don't think that will help, since the problem is on the client side, not the server side.
- Asakura_6529NimbostratusI think that the problem is not occurred on the client side, when Time Wait Recycle of the TCP profile is enabled.
- Deb_Allen_18Historic F5 AccountExcellent, good to know.
