    Hello,

     

    ASM is a Web application firewall and is dedicated to the protection of web apps.

     

    You can use the ASM license to protect smtp and ftp services.

     

    If you have a custom TCP app, you have better to go with LTM, irules and IP Intelligence (ip reputation db)

     

    You can find info on devcebtral and askf5.f5.com

Hi, Websocket is currently supported using LTM only. As Erik mentioned, you need to wait for the 12.1.0 to be released
