F5 Load Balancer and Subversion

Hi!

Considering the lack of responses, I guess we could do some brain storming?

I'd ask your network team to provide some packet captures to understand where the connections are forcibly closed. You can then open the pcap files in ie Wireshark:

Run this command on the loadbalancer where x.x.x.x is the source and y.y.y.y is the destination:
tcpdump -nni 0.0:nnn -s0 -w /var/tmp/output.pcap host x.x.x.x and host y.y.y.y -v

You can also ask them to monitor the output of the following command:

tmsh show /net rst-cause

Does the SVN servers need to contact themselves via the load balancer for any reason?

Ie. SVN-SRV-01 -> https://LB-URL/svn/repo/trunk/darly

If so, you might need to use a SNAT for these requests.

What do you mean by COPY activities? By packet headers, do you mean HTTP headers, and if so, which one do you suspect is missing?
