Description (partial)
Symptom: The ASA may incorrectly classify some TCP segments as failing a PAWS test when the TS.value present in the tcp header wraps around the 2^32 mark. Per RFC 1323, this should not cause the connect to fail. When a packet hits the ASA on an existing connection, the packet is dropped and the counter below increments: ciscoasa/pri/act# sh asp drop Frame drop: TCP packet failed PAWS test (tcp-paws-fail) Conditions: This occurs when the TS.value in a TCP packet/connection wraps around the 2^32 limit for that counter.
