Symptoms

While looking at total connections for the active BIG-IP using bigtop or SNMP, the connections are reported too high. For example if you sent a single connection through BIG-IP it is reported as 2 connections. Meanwhile, the standby device with mirroring configured accurately shows the number of connections.

Impact

The total connection count statistic is incorrect.

Conditions

This occurs on PVA-enabled hardware platforms.
