When the BIG-IP system receives ClientHello messages in multiple fragments, and the first fragment length is less than 9 bytes, SSL might process it as a non-SSL packet.
SSL might process the first fragment as a non-SSL packet, and discard it, and then tear down the TCP connection.
-- The system receives ClientHello messages in multiple fragments. -- The first fragment length is less than 9 bytes.
None.
Now, if the system receives the ClientHello message in multiple fragments, and the first fragment is less than 9 bytes, the system waits for the whole SSL packet to arrive before processing it.
