SSL connections drop and then climb back up and then drop again.

Just wondering if this has been seen before.

 

HEre is the problem, mail clients see a disconnected message and then reconnect after a couple of minutes or so.

 

When looking at the active sessions on the f5 statistics dashboard, i see the connction drop after it reaches about 1.2 TPS..

 

then it returns to what has been normal for the last few weeks or so, and that is 16 to 24 TPS.

 

I for the life of me, don't know where we would see this increase in Client connections per second.

 

Where should I look to see the culprits, any help would be appreciated.
