Opened: Oct 02, 2015 Severity: 3-Major
Some networking devices block a packet that has a TTL value higher than 230. The TTL value for the BIG-IP system is set to 255 internally and cannot be changed.
No access to the resources.
The issue occurs when traffic originates from the BIG-IP system (as a client).
None.
The TTL value can now be changed from the hardcoded value of 255. This supports the requirement that some networking devices have to block a packet whose TTL value is higher than 230.
