Opened: Jan 02, 2020
Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

In MRF/Diameter deployment, mirrored connections on the standby may be lost when the "process ingress error" log is observed only on the standby, and there is no matching log on the active.

Impact

Diameter mirror connections are lost on the standby. When failover occurs, these connections may need to reconnect.

Conditions

This can happen when there is a large amount of mirror traffic, this includes the traffic processed by the active that requires mirroring and the high availability (HA) context synchronization such as persistence information, message state, etc.

Workaround

None

Fix Information

Diameter mirror connection no longer lost due to "process ingress error" when there is high mirror traffic.
