Fixed In:
13.0.0, 12.1.4, 11.6.4

Opened: Jul 15, 2016

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

New connections made when a BIG-IP flow is in TCP TIME-WAIT state are not mirrored. New TCP flows after high availability (HA) reconnections may not be mirrored correctly.

Impact

The connections affected are not mirrored.

Conditions

This occurs when a TCP profile is used, along with one of the following: -- A BIG-IP flow is in TCP TIME-WAIT state. -- HA connection is reestablished and a mirrored BIG-IP flow has lost some packets.

Workaround

Disable TIME-WAIT for the TCP profile.

Fix Information

Reconnections in TCP TIME-WAIT state are now mirrored correctly. New connections after HA reconnections are now mirrored correctly.
