TCP packet transmissions

Hello everyone,

 

My questions are:

 

1) Is it normal for the Big-IP to send an ACK after receiving a RST packet?

 

//If not, what kind of reason can you think of for that to happen?

 

2) How many FIN/ACK retransmissions does the Big-IP send, if it is not receiving an corresponding ACK for it?

 

//Does it depend on the Maximum Segment Retransmission(default 8)?

 

I'm using a default TCP profile, Standard VS, LTM 11.2.1

 

Thank you in advance, Kai
