eey0re: thanks thats what i wanted to learn. 5M as stated but its impossible number when you run it on a production environment to reach this number. Packets has to be empty and has to do no processing and such to stay at the number 5M..!

 

That 5M number lowers to 100k concurrent before it switches to passive node.

 

I wrote here again and additional Note: 120 Nodes, 60 pools, 40 irules, 35 vservers used. 4k cps L4, 4k http req per second, 5/5-10 tps/session ssl per second.ALL Runs with snat automap. No compression set http profiles are default. No cache set. No ramcache usage. One connect is on for multiplexing. Only Http / mysql load balancing done. on the device.! All configured via F5 for best available usage. Irules are only for http - https switch I get the Irule from f5 too to bee best optimised. ASM is totally disabled when its on device does not see above 60k concurrent.
