The client sends a push-ack instead of ack to the response packet to syn-ack.

Hi   I have strange issue.   I know 3way-handshake is SYN->SYN-ACK->ACK.   But Someone is SYN->SYN-ACK->PUSH-ACK.....   What happen it is?   Is it normal?!   I guess, BIG-IP dorp it...

Hi ,

 

Can you paste the logs which shows sequence process.

 

This is basic TCP communications flow. The ACK indicates that a host is acknowledging having received some data, and the PSH,ACK indicates the host is acknowledging receipt of some previous data and also transmitting some more data.

Regards
