Limit a TCP connection in time

Hi, Is there any way to limit the duration of a TCP connection ?. Let's say it could not last more than 1 min. The problem comes because we have syslog clients that send messages to a pool of servers...

You can change in TCP Profile ( Local Traffic > Profile > Protocol > TCP ) As F5 is full proxy , F5 is holding the TCP connection between couple of Hosts and if TCP keepalive message is not arrive in certain period (default idle timeout 300 Seconds ) F5 release the TCP connection. After that connection was reset and need to re-established. I hope this may help. Thank You ZYW
