Error description

• After upgrading to major release 5.0.0.x, 6.0.0.x or 6.0.1.x,
  higher latency might occur compared to previous firmware
  versions. The latency is seen in the sixth position of the
  DataPower latency log and might show a higher value than
  observed in previous firmware versions.
  
  
  For example, in a firmware prior to 5.0.0.0, the latency values
  might read as follows:
  
  [latency][info] xmlfirewall(Test_XMLFW): tid(579923): Latency:
   0   0   0   0   1   1   0   1   0   0   0   1   0   0   0   0
  [http://ip:port/uri]
  
  After upgrading or applying 5.0.0.x, 6.0.0.x or 6.0.1.x, the
  latency values might now show higher values:
  
  [latency][info] xmlfirewall(Test_XMLFW): tid(41433504):
  Latency:   0   0   0   0  180  179   0  180   0   0   0  180
  0   0   0   0 [http://ip:port/uri]
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• Higher latency values might occur for transactions when
  DataPower 5.0.0.0 or later firmware is used.
  

Problem conclusion

• Fix is available in 5.0.0.12, 6.0.0.4 and 6.0.1.1.
