Symptoms

The DSCP value is not configurable for some types of traffic, which can lead to dropped traffic during adverse network conditions.

Impact

BIG-IP DNS incorrectly reports resources as unavailable because monitor traffic is dropped by the network due to congestion with unrelated traffic.

Conditions

Under adverse network conditions, monitor traffic can be dropped by the network.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

Setting the new db variable tm.egressdscp to a value other than the default value of 0, results in the system setting the DSCP value for outgoing traffic to the configured value.

Behavior Change

None.
