Hi reddev12,
My explnatation hasn't relied on evidence but first what does ( Traffic RSTs or Silent drops ) mean for you ?
I believe the traffic will timeout and dropped silently let we return to the pure HA , Failover event triggers when the Active node become inoperative or down something like person ride a bike and crashed into wall , what i mean the Active unit at failover like a wall can't do anything to traffic anymore , so what I think how inoperative device " like a wall " could take an action of resetting the Traffic , so I tend to the packets will be timing out and dropped not resetted.
That's from my perspective.
