Is microsecond precision available in an iRule?

I am trying to get to microsecond precision in an iRule I am working on.       Based on reading the Tcl docs that I found a link to on this site (http://tmml.sourceforge.net/doc/tcl/ind...

I found an older post which said that microseconds support isn't possible until TCL v8.5. I think there are plans to update the TCL base in iRules from 8.4, but I don't know of any concrete timing for this.

 

 

You could open a case with F5 Support and ask them to open a request for enhancement to support millisecond clock resolution in iRules. If you do, can you reply back with the RFE ID?
