One TCP connection may include multiple HTTP “GET” requests.
Content Switch examines each “GET” request and makes new routing decision.
Content Switch establishes another connection with the server based on the routing decision.
Those HTTP responses from different servers need to be interleaved and seen by the user as if from the same server.
Requires the Content Switch to keep track of the sequence # of the last msg from each server.

Can equivalent VS-Tunnel or VS-DR be implemented using Content Switch?
