May 23, 2012Capacity Planning for LTM + ASM
We hve pair of BIG-IP 6900 and I need to do some capacity planning for it. Is there any F5 tool or formula available to predict expected CPU/memory load on F5 by feeding following parameters.
Number of i-rules
ASM Policy for HTTP/XML
Active connections
New connections / sec (Client)
Throughput (bits)Client Throughput (bits)Server
Throughput (packets)
HTTP requests SSL trans/sec
Average Packet Size

I don't think there is an online tool that is available because, the CPU and memory utilization's are not only effected by the number of policies, rules, but also by the complexity of the policies/rules and the frequency at which they are utilized. I would suggest contacting your sales rep would be a better option as they know your environment better from the F5 capabilities perspective.
