Nimbostratus6900 runs at 600K Active Connections per second
Our 6900 shows it's running with 600K Active Conns per second, while from the 6900 platform spec https://www.f5.com/pdf/products/big-ip-platforms-datasheet.pdf L4 connections per second is only 220K.
Most of our virtual servers are configured with fastL4 profile, and over 80% of the connections are from busy DNS servers, so mostly UDP, which with fastl4 timeout value set to 5 seconds.
Also, is there a way to find out layer 7 request per second of the platform?
Here is the graph:

The graph shows "Active Connections", which can go into the Millions. That is not a graph for Connections Per Second.

Hummingbird_143Thanks, that's good to know. How to find the layer 4 Connections Per second, and layer 7 request per second, basically I need to know if our unit is over-loaded by compare our number with the specs.
Does the New Connections is the graph for Connections Per Second?
Thanks again!
