Performance Cost of iRule Comments?

Our network administrator would like to restrict comments in iRules due to a concern about additional processing needed for each comment. What is the performance cost exactly?

 

 

 

  • Hi Mack,

     

     

    There is no cost for iRule Comments. They are ignored when the iRule is compiled.

     

     

    If you would like additional commentary you can read this article written by Jason Rahm (DevCentral Team Member) on the subject.

    Hope this helps.
