NimbostratusBehavior of a packet during iRule update
I am trying to update of iRule in BIG-IP1600 LTM v11.2.0.
In general, In the case of Commercial environment, I think that I perform the config change in the time when network communication does not have the influence. During iRule update, Is it the thing which packet loss and communication cutting may produce?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,
toto

It is indeed possible to interrupt traffic if you update an in-use iRule. Version 11 allows you to make configuration changes to other non-related objects without causing interruptions, and in rare cases you could potentially update a running iRule if it wasn't relying on session variables or things that could get reset in an update, but it is generally BEST practice to NOT make configuration changes to a production system while it is in use.
