When there is a suspended iRule operation (such as the table or after command) in GTP iRule event, the operation may be intermittently aborted when the connection is expired.
GTP iRule may not be completely executed.
This occurs when a connection times out while there is still a pending iRule operation. For example, in one use case, there is a table command in GTP_SIGNALLING_INGRESS event, and the immediate idle timeout is configured in the UDP profile.
For the specific use case when immediate idle timeout is used, change idle timeout to some positive value. Then use the iRule to expire the connection after the GTP iRule event is done, for example, by setting 'IP::idle_timeout 0' in SERVER_CONNECTED event.
When connection is expired, pending iRule operations in GTP iRule events are now completed.
