Random TCP Resets from F5
Hi pcourtois​,
I am afraid AI won't take you far in this scenario...
The error message you posted looks like a generic .NET error message. The F5 by itself would not send such error message.
The BIG-IP sending a reset package is also not unusual, sometimes that's just how TCP works.
For example: if the TCP session is timed out on the F5 and client sends data on this timed-out session, the F5 would reply with a RST, ACK.
In which direction is the F5 sending the reset, to the client or to the server?
If the F5 sends a RST,ACK to the client and then, as a result, the client shows the above error message, you should adjust the tcp timeout settings in the client side TCP profile.
Hope this helps,
Daniel

Hi Daniel, thank you for the reply. The response is coming from the F5 so I will work on adjusted handshake timeout settings in my "dev" environment and update when i have some data.
