Port oversuscription in BIG-IP models

Is there any kind of port oversuscription as there is in othe manufaturers as in Cisco?

 

I can't find anything about it, I can't find how to connect the different phisical ports to your bussiness switches to avoid oversuscription and avoid to saturate the backplane, ASIC or anything that share bandwidth, memory, or CPU....

 

Is there any "conectivity best practice" by model? Or documentatión about how the physical ports are distributed internally by ASICs?

 

Thank you
