In order to fully support HTTP 1.1, load balancers must be able to maintain open TCP connections with multiple load balanced server pools for each TCP client connection. Keep-Alives in a content switching environment. OneConnect is automatically on by default, and works when HTTP 1.1 KeepAlives are turned on at the web server. BIG-IP immediately recognizes when the server is using HTTP 1.1. BIG-IP monitors incoming and outgoing data, using its unique 'rules and pools' intelligence to automatically send the right requests to the right server.
Network latency is lowered, and site performance is improved.
The right content request is sent to the right server, with the HTTP 1.1. Keep-Alive engine enabled for better site performance and reduced latency. BIG-IP then groups like requests for multiple users and sends them onto appropriate servers, minimizing overhead on the backend servers, increasing their capacity, and allowing sites to handle more connections with less work. But they are dedicated - only performing this single function. Health Monitors Health monitors are a collection of predefined scripts for testing the health and availability of the servers and applications that comprise web systems.
