Unfortunately, no update here. I'm unable to recreate your issue with my 4.6.2 test machine. Which version of BIG-IP are you having this issue with?

 

 

One thing that sticks out in your output is that your throughput statistics from iControl are displaying values larger than 32bits.

 

 

ITCMCommonThruputStatistics =

 

packets_out = 534425930 packets_in = 440862092

 

bits_out = 4528719399512 bits_in = 39307139792

 

 

The largest unsigned 32bit value you should be getting is 2^32 or (4294967296). That is, unless you are using the CORBA interfaces in which case you will be able to get the full 64bit value. But, that still doesn't make sense as the values iControl is returning are different than bigpipe and both apps are getting the statistics from the same source internally so they should be identical.

 

 

A few more details may help but if we aren't able to reproduce it here, you might have to take this one up with Customer Support.

 

 

BIG-IP Version:

 

iControl SDK Version:

 

Client language (perl, java, .NET):

 

Client Interface (CORBA, SOAP):

 

Client API calls you are using:
