Windows Azure Network: Packets being dropped after sending RST/FIN

We identified an issue that SLB seems reusing ports immediately after being released after a RCP RST or FIN.

Azure Engineering team will fix it in next release, while an effective workaround is to configure PIP for the VM.

Please refer to this article for detailed steps: How to add an ILPIP to an existing VM: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/virtual-networks-instance-level-public-ip/
