TMM is running at 100 percent CPU even under a light network load. A high number of packet drops and queue full events are reported.
Busy polling runs the TMM CPU usage to 100 percent.
- BIG-IP Virtual Edition. - There are underlying network performance issues causing the transmit queue to be full. For example, a non-SR-IOV virtual machine environment. - Upgrading from BIG-IP v12.x to BIG-IP v14.x.
Correct the underlying networking/virtualization issue. Report in logs and mark down interface when its transmitting queue is full.
Providing visible information with an error message when there is busy polling over a period of time. "Marking down interface because its txq[<queue_num>] has been full for n seconds."
