Connection limit for a pool

Hi,

 

What is that? Pool is only object without Connection limit setting. Is that sum of connection limits for all pool members (make sense only if all members has limit set I guess). If above is true, what is usage for pool limit? I can't see any settings/actions related to pool limit. Only setting that could be related might be TCP request queuing (for VS without persistence), but even here queuing can be triggered by change of pool status (to Unavailable). Pool status change is as far as I understand caused by all pool members exceeding connection limit at the same time. So I wonder why such term was used in https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/ltm-implementations-11-2-1/29.htmlconceptid TCP request queuing provides the ability to queue connection requests that exceed the capacity of connections for a pool, pool member, or node Why pool but not virtual server?
