NimbostratusLarge classes in iRules
hi DevCentrallers;
I have a couple of customers who would like to make use of iRules to process traffic according to some rpetty big rulebases, which would seem to be a good fit for using cl...
The only two ways that I'd recommend trying to store/access sets of data that large would be either via the session table, or a TCL arrray, in that order.
The session table was, after all, specifically designed to hold huge numbers of strings with connection data. Not to mention it gives you the ability to time out entries so you don't have to go through and tear down the data later as you would in an array.
Classes (data groups) are great for data sets of hundreds or even thousands of entries, but with something this large I don't think they'll cut it.
