We have 4 mongooseIM server behind F5 and bunch of xmpp clients sending xmpp traffic like text messages etc.. to simulate production workload. my goal is to run 1 million clients (tcp connection) with 1000/s rate.
(i have run same workload without F5 and its successful like all client sending traffic directly to mongooseIM nodes using scripted way to load-balance connection but my goal is to run them behind F5 for many reason.
We have all TCP application no more UDP or SIP style traffic which need special care of source port preservation.
