Memory Usage and Active connections

What does this OTHER physical memory usage means?

 

  1. For now there is almost no traffic passing through F5 but still its showing 19.1% physical memory usage. In which I am using only 4.7%.

     

  2. What are these open connections? Any traffic passing through F5 (non load balance) is considered as connection?

  • 1) Other is a summary of every module except TMOS/TMM. For an overview of your modules and provisions try

    tmsh show sys provision
    . Unless you have ASM/APM/AVR or other modules provisioned, "Other" is just the system management.

    2) Yes, every connection routed through F5 is an active connection (until timed out or closed).

      I guess other modules are not in my control. By the way what are those other modules.
