I don't think the FastHTTP profile was designed for production use--I heard it was designed for performance testing.

 

 

I'd suggest opening a case with F5 Support on this. Here are some of the questions it would help for you to answer:

 

 

Can you capture a binary formatted tcpdump of the failure? When you're using the HTTP profile and getting resets, who sends the reset? Is it LTM sending RSTs to both the client and server? Or the server first? Are the RSTs sent after a timeout period? Does the failure occur on every HTTP request? Or all POST requests, or some POST requests which generate a large response? Is the client a standard browser? What type of server is it?
