Oracle_TNS_Caching

Hello there,

 

i just got a request by our database team.They wonder whether bigip keeps tns requests on itself for oracle db. i mean that when clients request to f5 to access to db servers, f5 will keeps oracle's tns path and make load balancing to oracle db pool members so oracle db servers will not have to return to clients for all of tns query and so servers will have less load. As you see clients will know tns path on the bigip. i just searched about it but i found nothing.i think citrix netscaler is able to do that. is it possible for our f5 ?

 

Thank you in advance,

  • F5 does not support TNS Caching unless you can come up with something using iRules. Netscaler doesn't either from what I can tell.
