During packet analysis of TCP flows from a SteelHead using path selection, you consistently notice that the first few packets go over one path, and subsequent packets go via another. What is the cause of this?
A.
The SteelHead attempted to optimize the traffic and failed. When the connections proceeded in passthrough they get treated differently than if they had been optimized.
B.
The SteelHead has detected that a path has gone down and therefore re-routed the traffic.
C.
QoS traffic classification has matched a configured application and moved the traffic into a different QoS class.
D.
This is normal operation of using the Application Flow Engine with path selection, as the SteelHead needs to examine several packets before it can identity the traffic.
