Flow Timeout

Kind of a big deal

Flow Timeout

Anyone have any insights into the MX's flow timeout.  It seems to cache traffic flows and preferences.   Especially in relation to load balanced configurations.  I've configured some Internet Traffic flow preferences under Security Appliance>Traffic Shaping but it doesn't seem to consistently honor those rules.

Hey @Adam,

 

As you have observed the MX is designed to apply traffic shaping rules to new flows only.

 

Generally most flows expire within 5-20 minutes after becoming inactive. if you need to ensure the flow changes take place immediately, a reboot should do the trick.

 

Cheers!
