LTM Drops TCP Retransmit packets

This was kind of futile to ask the question with software this old :). The only way I could get any further is to understand what the F5 internal software is doing when these packets arrive and try to see some kind of error. Essentially debugging at a layer in which I will never get to here.

 

In reality, nobody would care about a bug on this software as it is no longer supported anyway.. Soooo, I suppose I will accept defeat on this one and leave alone. Time to go work for a company that believes in support contracts and recent software versions on critical platform appliances!!!!

    Sorry we can't be of more help. At least with a newer version (v10 or v11), someone here could mock it up and test it out for you.
