Nimbostratusperformance of iRules
Hello iRules users,
The company I work for is currently investigating the various available load balancing solutions and
I have a very general question regarding the performance of rule...
Yann,
Yes, There are things to avoid with irules when considering performance. Regex, Logging, and Loops to name a few. Check out the "iRules Optimization 101" series on dev central or take the F5 iRules class for more info.
You can test the performance cost of a iRule with the "Timing on" command to collect CPU cycle info.
I suggest, if you haven't done so already download the LTM VE for free. And lab out some of the rules you are looking at.
