HTTPS monitor fails with a "Protocol Version" Alert when it is accessing a TLS1.0 server
The bigd process might consume more CPU than necessary because it might always be performing complete SSL handshakes with monitored servers. BIG-IP version 11.5.0 or higher in environments with both TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.2 servers that perform SSL session caching may experience monitor flapping or servers that are marked down unexpectedly.
A configuration that utilizes https monitors to servers that implement an SSL session cache. More servers utilizing the same https monitor make the problem more likely to occur. For the monitor flapping or false negative symptom in 11.5.0 or higher, a monitor must be configured for a combination of TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.2 servers.
None
https monitors now properly perform SSL session re-use.
