Seemless failover - tcp session

Hi Wanted to do ltm + apm seemless failover Thought I could do it with conection mirroring turned on but https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K09115252 seems to suggest you can't have APM fail over...

AlexS_yb Connection mirroring typically handles this but some connections just wont failover without some sort of disruption. Why the necessity to have absolutely zero downtime for TCP connections?

    Its a requirement from the devs / business. We need to provide a seemless failover

    The PA's do it and the F5's LTM seem to do it, its just when you APM that it will not do it.
