About F5 8950's throughput number

Hi Harry,

 

 

The 8950 is rated for 20Gbps per this datasheet:

I believe the throughput numbers combine client and serverside data.

Hi Aaron:

 

 

Thanks for your quick repsponse. If this is the case, BIG-IP 8950 only can provide 10G throughput to the DUT?

 

 

A B

 

Client -------> BIG-IP --------->Server

 

<------- <---------

 

C D

 

 

If we use two arm environment. The tupu will be as above. Can I assume 20G throughput of BIG-IP 8950 is traffic A+B+C+D?

 

 

I saw F5 's performance testing was measured by IXIA. So What 's throughput number that will be read by IXIA?

 

 

Thanks!

hmmmm.Sorry. The above topu is disorder. Here is my explanation with text.

 

 

A: the traffic from client to BIG-IP

 

B: the traffic from BIG-IP to server

 

C: the traffic from BIG-IP to client

 

D: the traffic from server to BIG-IP
