BIG-IP : sync-failover device-group sync options
F5 BIG-IP Virtual Edition v11.4.1 (Build 635.0) LTM on ESXi

Automatic Sync - Sync is automatic and not manual. Done almost immediatelly after a change is made
Full Sync - if checked will do a FULL sync and if left unchecked, only an incremental sync
Maximum Incremental Sync Size (KB) - 1024 - if you make more than this default value it goes into FullSync mode. (number is a variable)
support.f5.com has further info on this. Hope this helps for now.
