iRule for inspecting XML mesages & routing/filtering

I was researching the use of F5 for routing XML traffic based on content in the message body. How do we build an iRule for implementing such a policy ? Are there any guidelines available for developing policies for XML streams to ensure that the rules dont degrade the performance of the F5 box itself ? (size of message/depth of inspection etc.)

    I don’t think we have any specific guidelines for XML/Web Services in particular but if your service is using the HTTP binding, most of the rules shown in the forum should apply just the same.

     

     

    We expose rules that make it really easy to route your documents based on client IP address, service URI, Cookie strings etc. We also expose rules that allow you to dive into the payload if needed.

     

     

    I think there should be plenty of examples in this forum that should give you a good idea of the extent of these rule. Hope that helps!
