Hi Aaron,

 

 

Version 10.1.0

 

 

GET /ApplicationFacade.svc HTTP/1.1\r\nHost:\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n

 

 

The connections stay in time_wait for 2 minutes on the servers.

 

 

I've done a tcpdump is there anything in particular I should be looking for after a response is received by the LTM?

 

 

Many Thanks

 

Darren
