    I found the solution I needed add the HTTP Header "Connection: Close" during response of F5 to client.

     

    When the F5 close APM session without "Connection: Close" in HTTP Header, the client will use the TCP Connection for another APM session and the F5 will close the TCP Connection when delete the first APM session.

     

    It is the explanation for I have error when I have load, the client open another APM session using a same TCP Connection.

     

    The best iRule that I make for this example is:

     

    when HTTP_RESPONSE_RELEASE { HTTP::header insert "Connection" "Close" ACCESS::session remove }

     

    Thanks all.

You can try something like that

when ACCESS_ACL_ALLOWED {
    set close_response 1
}

when HTTP_RESPONSE { 
    if {$close_response} {    
        ACCESS::session remove         
    }    
}
