When rate class is configured at very low rate (under packet size per second) the BIG-IP system cannot pass traffic.
The BIG-IP system does not pass traffic.
-- BIG-IP 2000/4000 Series platforms. -- Rate class is configured at very low rate.
Raise the rate class shaper rate so that the rate available to each tmm is larger than the expected packet size. Note: Rate class ceiling and rate are equally divided between each core, so the minimum bandwidth to pass traffic for 4 core system is 4(2 KB * 8) = 64 KB and for 8 core system it is 128 KB, making each core get about 2 KB per second. If the system is expected to pass jumbo packets, then the system must be configured accordingly.
