Known Affected Versions:
11.6.0, 12.1.0 HF1, 12.1.0 HF2, 12.1.1 HF1, 12.1.1 HF2, 12.1.2 HF1, 12.1.2 HF2
Fixed In:
12.0.0, 11.6.1
Opened: Aug 15, 2014 Severity: 3-Major
When insufficient initial data is received, the FastL4 fix late-bind timeout recovery action is not taken (no RST sent with disconnection and no default pool use with fallback).
The client-timeout feature does not work. Client connections seem to hang, and RST is not sent (when timeout-recovery disconnect) or the connection does not continue with standard FastL4 behavior (when timeout-recovery fallback) if enough initial data does not arrive within the client-timeout.
FastL4 profile with FIX late-bind enabled and insufficient data is received.
Setting tcp-handshake-timeout to a value that is greater than client-timeout might allow this to work.
FastL4 with FIX late-bind enabled now honors client-timeout.
