Your config was not significantly different from mine. Even making it identical did not produce different results, initially .....

 

However, when we made a tcpdump on the big-ip instead of on the clone pool member things looked very different (better). Originally, I was running the tcpdump within a Docker container on a linux host. It seems that this was causing the issue. Running the tcpdump on a plain linux clone pool member also give good result (but no extensive testing yet).

 

I am still confused about the reason behind these different results but it seems that my initial question was caused by wrong measurement and not by a non-working setup. I'll do some additional testing in the coming weeks an will update this thread with the results.

 

Thanks again for your effort.
