TCP packets out of order

Hi

 

I'd like to know what will happen when BiG-IP receives out of order TCP packet. Does it balanced it according to rules and let the server to handle the rest or substitutes the server and requests resending?

 

Thanks

    the LTM is a full proxy and maintains separate tcp connections for the client and the server. Out of order packets will be handled at the tcp layer before handing up to higher layers for processing with the iRules events.
