NimbostratusFastl4 vs for non ePVA devices
Hello, I am trying to understand the purpose of the FastL4 VS and Fast L4 profiles. From the documentation: When to use: FastL4 is limited in functionality to socket level decisions (for example,...
Hello ,
The ePVA chip is a hardware acceleration field programmable gate array (FPGA) that delivers high-performance L4 throughput by offloading traffic processing to the hardware acceleration chip. For BIG-IP platforms that contain the ePVA chip, the system makes flow acceleration decisions in software and then offloads eligible flows to the ePVA chip for acceleration. For platforms that do not contain the ePVA chip, the system performs acceleration actions in software.
Anyway, you have still many other enhancements. Check this out:

marian__neaguHi Aswin,
Thanks for taking the time to answer my question (which now seems very stupid)! I was reading this article, but it seems not very careful :)
BR,
