Migrating to F5, Cisco ACE options (syn-data and urgent-flag)

parameter-map type connection TCP_MAP

is how Cisco ACE handles TCP parameters and the like. You would modify these through the TCP profile or by modifying other protocol profiles. You would then assign your custom profiles to the virtual server in question. Depending on the profile you can often have different profiles on the client side and the server side, which will help address the next two data points.

syn-data drop

and

urgent-flag clear

are both part of the tcp normalization in Cisco ACE. As the BigIP is a full proxy, they are not really applicable. We will construct a complete and separate TCP connection to the back end, which may or may not exactly match the client side connection. You can tweak your TCP settings through custom TCP profiles.
