Load-Balancing

CSS handles TCP and UDP traffic
Chapter 2, Configuring 
Flow and Port Mapping 
Parameters

(MSS), and displaying the statistics on currently allocated flows
• Configuring flow inactivity timeouts on content rules and source groups 
and displaying the timeout statistics

fragment statistics
• Configuring a CSS to send a TCP reset if a VIP is unavailable
• Configuring the flow-state table to alter the flow characteristics and 
NAT state of TCP and UDP ports and displaying the table
