Please, help me understand hardware specs for LTM devices...

Hi,

 

http://www.f5.com/pdf/products/big-ip-platforms-datasheet.pdf (5200 platform)

 

could you please help to clear following numbers for me?

 

L7 requests per second: 1.5M

 

• Is it standard VS ? (full reverse proxy, i.e., SYN-ACK-SYN with client and then SYN-ACK-SYN with node)

L4 connections per second: 700K

 

• is it Performance L4 VS ? (with SYN-ACK-SYN from client to node, hence 1/2 of L7 value)

Maximum L4 concurrent connections: 24M

 

• OK

L4 HTTP requests per second: 7M

 

-? Performance L4 VS /w HTTP profile?

 

Throughput: 30 Gbps/15 Gbps L4/L7

 

• max Throughput device can handle ?

SSL: Included: 21,000 TPS (2K keys) ?

 

Maximum: 21,000 TPS (2K keys) ?

 

• SSL TPS?

Where do connections from nodes fall in, in case when F5 used as default Gateway? Technically it's using L4 VS /w 0.0.0.0 destination, so it's probably under L4?

 

THANK YOU.
