Good catch. Data groups are also called classes. It just depends on where you're looking. e.g. The GUI calls them Data Groups. At the CLI they're classes. As they are in iRules (e.g. matchclass, findclass). You'll also find that rate shaping use rate classes... So don't confuse the two there...

 

 

I'm not sure why they're called two different things... Maybe just different people doing the coding early on? Or the spec and name changed somewhere (Possibly around the v4 -> v9 transition?) (Sorry too long ago for me to check a v4 CLI and too far away to remember)
