F5 drops all UDP packets

When we load more than 50 sessions from our loader on BC-1 (209.67.159.60) to any oStreamer connected through F-5 (209.67.159.52) , the F-5 seems to drop all UDP packets, hence our streamer does not get RTCP feedback from the clients running from the loader and terminates the clients after default RTCP timeout of 30 seconds.

 

 

 

 

When we stream just 1 session we do not see this issue.

 

 

When we stream from 1 handset we do not see this issue.

 

 

 

 

When we stream 250 sessions the issue becomes worse and streams start terminating faster.

 

 

 

 

When we bypass the F-5 , assign a public IP directly to streamer and load 250 sessions from loader no issue.

 

 

 

 

So we know for sure that the external interface of F-5 is definitely dropping the packets.

    You should re-post in the Adv Design & Config forum (Click here) where you might get more help, but really I'd recommend opening a case with F5 Support.
