NimbostratusSizing for BIG IP appliance
Hi,
IF I need to have about 5000 simultaneous connections https open, what BIG IP model I should choose? 4000S or 4200V ?
What parameters should I look into the specs: l7 request per second / l4 connections per second / L4 http requests per scond ?
So, I've a doubt with the TPS max, but it's only for Hardware SSL no ? (I not need hardware ssl)
Thanks

it depends on your ssl key size, too. The specs are only for 2k keys. If you use 4k keys, the ssl performance is about 30% of 2k keys for the 4200v. So, you have to think about the future.
Hardware ssl is allways included ;-)Transactions != Connections forum entry
ckteur_147055Thanks for your answer. Ok, Hardware SSL is always included but not inevitably use ? In this case, I must consider the TPS parameter ?
