How to Handle Connection Reset or Timeout in BIGIP F5 LTM

I'm working on Application X.And it connects to third Party Vendor Stratus(It is payment platform It will send and receive heartbeats to the Application). Connection everything is fine but the challenge is whenever we bounce the JVM, stratus to application connection gets disconnected. Eventually Stratus is ending up recycling the Stratus interface everytime we bounce the JVM.

 

Is there any configuration or setting in the VIP Level to make sure that the connection will not reset.

 

This issue is very critical now any help is appreciated.

 

High Level Idea of the VIP Protocol Profile: Indefinite Timeout It not secured across the connection

  • Whenever JVM is restarted, it will clear its own connection table. Looks like Stratus is doing only one time binding. It should not be required to reset its interface. Perhaps solution is needed from Stratus side.

     

  • use fastl4 profile, and enable also "Loose Initiation" & "Loose Close". This setting accepts everything, even if the connection is not in the connection table.
