Pool statistics question
Hi
I am seeing some figures in the pool statistics screen that are confusing me and wondered if anyone could clarify what it is that I am seeing.
We have a pool of two servers that is setup to use the Round Robin loadbalancing method. When I am viewing the statistics screen for the pool i am seeing the total number of connections to each of the members increasing at the same rate.
The requests column is the bit that I do not really understant though. After a bit of time each member had reached 12 total connections but had very different numbers in the Requests column.
When using the Round Robin loadbalancing method does this just loadbalance the connections in a uniform way or should it also do the same for the requests? The other strange thing is that even though the members had 12 connections each the requests were six for one server and 65 for the other. Any ideas why one server had less requests than connections?
We are using LTM 1500s running 9.4.4 if that helps
Many thanks in advance
Simon
