Please do not use the 'p' flag when capturing traffic. There is a specific use case for it, and most cases is not it. Using the 'p' flag when not explicitly needed in the best case scenario creates difficult to interpret capture files, in the worst case scenario creates performance impact even after tcpdump is no longer running. In fact, please discourage use of the 'p' flag. Also see f5devcentral#43 See notes at https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K13637#specificflow for details.
