Thank you boneyard 

Sorry, I don't understand, should I add the MACs of the servers in BIG-IP? or the servers must be connected in L2?

Moreover, for a large volume of logs, an iRule with CLIENT_DATA will not pose a performance problem?

I check the HLS runway...

Must be connect L2. But also be able to accept a different destination IP then itself. As the article mentions it is meant for IDS like systems.

The effect on CPU is always difficult to predict. One way to find out, try and if possible with limited traffic and out of business hours.
