Occasionally, when the Virtual Server status changes, the Virtual Address status may not me communicated to the routing services (that is, the tmrouted service). This can result in incorrect routes.
Virtual Addresses may have advertised routes when they are down, or vice versa.
Exact conditions unknown, but it can occur when the Virtual Server status changes.
None.
The Virtual Address state change code was improved in multiple areas: 1. GTM is checked for provisioning. 2. Each individual Virtual Address is checked for GTM association before assuming it needs to be broadcast. 3. Virtual Address changes caused by the Virtual Server, Pool, or Virtual Address changes are processed at a higher priority. 4. Virtual Address changes caused by a GTM state change are processed after the Virtual Server changes in #3. 5. All Virtual Address changes are processed on a queue that limits the number per mcpd event loop, preventing Virtual Address status changes from blocking normal mcpd operations.
