Hi,

 

Statistics are just counter that need to be reset sometimes. To make sure that your app works fine, you can reset the statistics in the webui (Statistics >> Module Statistics >> Local Traffic). You can reset tcp stats of your tcp profile in your VS and check if tcp reset counter increase again.

 

You can also launch a tcpdump on the F5 cli and check if there is some tcp reset from one of the peer.

 

In your case, the tcp reset can come from the client too.

Yann, Thanks for your answer. We do a reset of the statistics every Sunday. The statistics show us that every connection receives a TCP reset. But since the pool statistics are also updated, I'am sure the connection client - F5 - servers is working. What can cause this TCP reset. We dot not prefer using TCPDUMP since the amount of traffic that is generated.
