Symptoms

A persistence record might be marked expired even though its corresponding connection is still active and passing traffic.

Impact

Persist records disappear in spite of flow activity that is more recent than the persist timeout.

Conditions

This occurs when using persistence.

Workaround

Set the timeout of persist to at least 33 seconds longer than the related flow timeout.

Fix Information

Persistence records are maintained when connection and persistence timeouts are with 33 seconds of each other.
