Server SSL and Cliente SSL implementation and design. (2 Way SSL)

Hi all, My question is related to TPS in this design.

 

My understand is that when we use 2 Way SSL (Server SSL and Client SSL) setup we are going to have 2 TPS when a client browser starts a https connection to my application. Is that correct?

    I don't look at that way.

     

    Here is a good posting about it

    i am not sure but it seems license is based on clientside only.

    Each BIG-IP system is licensed to provide a maximum number of client-side Secure Socket Layer (SSL) transactions per second (TPS). Specific limits are determined by the license on the BIG-IP system.

    anyway, i think re-encryption on serverside is also counted when talking about capacity (sizing).
