The interface between the HSB and switch may experience a high number of pause frames, which can be observed in the switch interface stats counters.rx_pause value. This may also be seen by impacted traffic in the ltm logs, such as lacpd errors: -- info lacpd[8992]: 01160010:6: Link 2.3 removed from aggregation -- info lacpd[8992]: 01160011:6: Link 2.3 Actor Out of Sync -- info lacpd[8992]: 01160012:6: Link 2.3 Partner Out of Sync
Network traffic is dropped.
This issue can occur if there are hardware-accelerated flows and IPv6 traffic.
Although there is no workaround, the fix for this issue has been added to HSB firmware images for BIG-IP v14.1.x. This includes the B4450N and iSeries platforms.
