Table Command

Can anyone explain the difference between the lifetime and timeout values within the table command.

 

From what I can see when you update a single key within a table both are not touched.

 

Thanks,

    this is my testing. 

    [root@ve10:Active] config  b rule mylog list
rule mylog {
   when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
   log local0. "key:key1 value:[table lookup -notouch key1] remaining-timeout:[table timeout -remaining key1] remaining-lifetime:[table lifetime -remaining key1]"
   TCP::close
}
}

[root@ve10:Active] config  cat /var/log/ltm
