Configuring a Redundant System
BIG-IP® Reference Guide 6-5
The mirror feature is intended for use with long-lived connections, such as
FTP, Chat, and Telnet sessions. Mirroring is also effective for HTTP
persistence connections.
If you attempt to mirror all connections, it may degrade the performance of
the BIG-IP.
