Need help deciphering this tcpdump / resets from F5

Network connectivity is in place between F5 and server, but I can't telnet to server on 80/443 and healthchecks are failing. If I remove healthcheck I can hit VIP from browser and webpage comes up ok...

We are using the normal http and https healthchecks. I was able to open a second session on the load balancer and capture traffic on the interface a little better.

We figured it out though, LB sent traffic to FW, and on to server, then server was sending return traffic back an asymetric path not through FW (it's a messed up environment). Had to add a static route on server and all was good.
