    Hope below details may help you.

    Full Acceleration
    All traffic is load balanced using Layer 4 features, such as virtual servers that operate only on IP addresses and ports of incoming traffic. The Full acceleration mode is not compatible with Layer 7 features, such as cookie persistence, header insertion, and rules that operate on data payload content.

    FastL4
    The FastL4 profile is a protocol profile that you can use to manage Layer 4 (L4) traffic on the BIG-IP system. Using the FastL4 profile can increase virtual server performance and throughput for supported platforms by using the embedded Packet Velocity Acceleration (ePVA) chip to accelerate traffic.

     

    Happy learning..
