    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:
