HTTP To HTTPS conversion

Hello Experts

 

We have HTTP connection which we are planning to upgrade to HTTPS: Do i need to only look at no. of new connections and check whether license can support it ? or open connections has to be considered

 

e.g if below are HTTP connection details Total open connections: 20K New connections: 1000

 

Do i need to have SSL session to support 1000 connections per second or do i need to include 20K open connections as well. And Anyone any Idea how many open SSL connection i can have with B2150

 

Thanks for your response

    SSL licensing has limits based on TPS (Transactions Per Second). This should roughly be equal to connections per second. Based on the numbers provided, you need to use 1,000 as the threshold. However, if you are going to buy licensing, I would recommend that you run the math by the F5 Sales/Solutions Engineer just to be sure.

    See this for B2150 data.

    Included SSL TPS: 4,000/Blade
Maximum SSL TPS: 10,000 TPS (2K keys)
Bulk crypto: 9 Gbps
