Bug ID 2153897: BIG-IP closes the transport connection immediately after sending a DPA to a peer

Last Modified: Dec 19, 2025

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IP LTM(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
15.1.10.8, 16.1.6.1, 17.1.3, 17.5.1.3

Opened: Nov 20, 2025

Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

With Diameter MRF setup, when the BIG-IP receives a diameter DPR message (Disconnect-Peer-Request), it sends a DPA to the peer (Disconnect-Peer-Answer) and then immediately closes the transport connection. According to RFC6733, ("Diameter Base Protocol") the transport connection should be closed by the remote peer instead.

Impact

The BIG-IP system closes the transport connection instead of waiting for the remote peer to close it.
