Check the KB article Omar2 send you. The -p option does not work for HTTP2.

No. I dont recommend to used the HTTP MRF Router in Gateway mode. Way too many trouble and limitations.

Lots of fixes and also new issues. Some symtoms are only valid for if you use HTTP MRF Router and some are valid if you dont use HTTP MRF Router. I found the problems without using HTTP MRF Router more acceptable so far. Right now I dont have any known issues on my agenda using latest v16.

Plenty of them. Check the f5 support page and take some time for a reading.

Use it only for HTTP/2 full-proxy mode (HTTP MRF Router must be enabled in this specific case). Try to avoid the use of iRules or Local Traffic Policies and unnecessary features. Try to run this setup in a clean 1:1 VS->Pool mapping by using VS settings only. Thats probably the best usecase for it right now.

CirrostratusHi ,
thanks for you reply..
the issue is tcpdump -p does not catch server-side traffic in HTTP/2 Gateway-mode
i see the traffic from client to lb and it doest catch server side traffic
1. Can the profile "httprouter" safely used in HTTP/2 Gateway-mode in Rel. 16.1.x?
2. Because we observed a lot of bugs when profile "httprouter" was redundantly used in http/2 Gateway-Mode.
3. Were there any change in usage of profile "httprouter" in Rel. 16.1.x compared to Rel. 15.1.x?
4. Is this behavior a SW-bug?
5. On what condition we need to use httprouter in the profile ..
