BIG-IP may transmit UDP datagrams with a bad checksum.
Packets may be dropped by adjacent devices.
Outgoing link-local multicast UDP traffic from the Linux host, such as RIP.
Disable checksum offloading on the virtual NIC for affected VLANS, e.g. "ethtool --offload vlan1274 rx on tx off"
Link-local multicast UDP packets are no longer sent with incorrect checksums.
