BIG-IP VE: 40G Throughput from 4x10G physical NICs
Hi Karthick1 Your assessment and flowchart look spot on as per the KB article you mentioned. On your left branch of the flow diagram, you identified that you must use SR-IOV and compatible NIC's - Intel /Mellanox Connect to name some. The right branch is also accurate just keep in mind per flow happens before the BIG-IP VE so there can be instances where 1 flow will be hashed to 1 x 10G uplink. for your goal of 40G throughput you may want to consider allocating 4 Virtual Function's per Physical Function within SR-IOV. Also High-Performance VE License can unlock higher vCPU allocations for multi-threaded TMM. Leverage iperf and nuttcp to test throughput across various settings.
