DESCRIPTION
       You can use the connection component to set the idle timeout for or delete active connections to the BIG-IP
       system based on a specified filter. Additionally, you can display information about the active connections to
       the system.

       You can specify the  option using either a number or a service (80 or http).

       Important: If you do not specify a port or service, the system deletes all connections that match just the IP
       address. If you do not specify an IP address, the system deletes all connections including mirrored
       connections.

EXAMPLES
       show connection all-properties

       Displays information about all active connections to the system.

       modify connection idle-timeout 300

       Changes the amount of idle time before a connection is disconnected to five minutes (300 seconds).

       modify connection flow-accel-type software-only

       Flush all hardware accelerated connections from the hardware to be software only connections.

OPTIONS
       age  Specifies, in seconds, the minimum idle time of the active connections that you want to display or
	    delete.

       cs-client-addr/prefixlen
	    Specifies the client-side remote IP address of the active connections that you want to display or delete.
	    Subnet addresses are allowed with prefix lengths up to /24 and /56 for IPv4 and IPv6 respectively.

       cs-client-port
	    Specifies the clientside remote port of the active connections that you want to display or delete.

       cs-server-addr/prefixlen
	    Specifies the clientside local IP address of the active connections that you want to display or delete.
	    Subnet addresses are allowed with prefix lengths up to /24 and /56 for IPv4 and IPv6 respectively.

       cs-server-port
	    Specifies the clientside local port of the active connections that you want to display or delete.

       connection-id
	    Specifies the MPTCP connection ID of the active connections that you want to display or delete.

       idle-timeout
	    Specifies the interval, in seconds, that a connection can remain idle before the system closes the
	    connection.

       protocol
	    Specifies the protocol of the active connections that you want to display or delete.

       save-to-file
	    Specifies the file which connection information can be save to. With this option, it can write a file
	    larger than 2GB.

       ss-client-addr
	    Specifies the serverside local IP address of the active connections that you want to display or delete.

       ss-client-port
	    Specifies the serverside local port of the active connections that you want to display or delete.

       ss-server-addr
	    Specifies the serverside remote IP address of the active connections that you want to display or delete.

       ss-server-port
	    Specifies the serverside remote port of the active connections that you want to display or delete.

       type Specifies the type of active connections that you want to display or delete. The possible values are:

	    any  Specifies all active connections.

	    mirror
		 Specifies only mirrored connections.

	    self Specifies the connection with which you are accessing the system.

	    mptcp
