Hi Eridano,

 

 

When you say TCP segments, what do you mean? Is LTM sending a RST to the client? If so, do you see a corresponding RST coming from the serverside? I'd suggest capturing a tcpdump with the client and serverside traffic together to compare what's happening on both sides of LTM. If you need help capturing or analyzing TCP dumps, you can check the following solution or open a case with F5 Support:

 

 

SOL411: Overview of packet tracing with the tcpdump utility

Note that it is not possible to use an iRule to log TCP flags on individual packets.
