Severity: 3-Major
When an HTTP compression profile is enabled on BIG-IP platforms with Intel QuickAssist Technology (Intel QAT) compression accelerators, gzip errors are produced.
Clients cannot decompress the compressed file because there is an invalid gzip footer.
This occurs when the following conditions are met: -- The following platforms with Intel QAT are affected: + 4450 blades + i4600/i4800 + i10600/i10800 + i7600/i7800 + i5600/i5800 + i11600/i11800 + i11400/i11600/i11800 + i15600/i15800 -- The compression.qat.dispatchsize variable is set to any of the following values: + 65535 + 32768 + 16384 + 8192 -- The size of the file being compressed is a multiple of the compression.qat.dispatchsize value, for exampld: + 65355*32768 + 8192*32768
Disable hardware compression and use software compression.
