On this particular VIP, I am not using FastL4 but that's good to know that I won't see all packets when doing so. I am using the "tcp" profile for this VIP.
Here is my command and some of the output. I never see the "dropped packet" counter increment and I have tried several different swithces in tcpdump command line and all of them give me the same thing:
