Symptoms

Accelerated loose init connections may send seq number 0 on idle timeout reset.

Impact

TCP reset will have a 0 sequence number.

Conditions

Virtual server configured with Fastl4 with ePVA acceleration and loose initiation. Idle timer to expire will cause a TCP reset to be sent.

Workaround

While this will not necessarily cause issues, some applications might not interoperate correctly. In this case disabling PVA acceleration might be a valid workaround.
