A virtual server configured to use FastHTTP may cause a TMM core if fragmented IP packets are received by the virtual. This can be observed by the following TMM log statement: panic: Assertion 'l4hdr set' failed.
Intermittent TMM core, resulting in a TMM restart. Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.
A virtual server configured with a FastHTTP profile receiving fragmented IP packets.
Use a different profile than FastHTTP, such as a full proxy with TCP/HTTP filters.
Force packet reassembly before packet is forwarded to a FastHTTP virtual.
