It took a while to find a working PC version of CURL

 

 

From Traffic Summary Under the Welcome item in the F5 management web interface I hit the Button [Clear Statistics] followed by a [Refresh] button.

 

 

From a client (actualy an EVDO dongle) that is routed into the F5 to VIP iruletest (rule test_irule_000)

 

 

I ran a couple of tests and I saw the following in the statistics (Traffic Summary)
