CirrostratusSSL TPS license limits on 4096 bit key size versus RSA 4096 bit key size
The article K6475 mentions only 20% of the license is available for RSA key sizes over 4096 bits and greater

Employeeif the box can support 4000 SSL TPS connections , when using RSA 4096 bit keys we get only 800 SSL TPS connections?
That is correct. This is because handling 4096 bit keys requires approximately 5 times the CPU of a 2048 bit key.
Does this rule also apply for key sizes that are 4096 bits and NOT RSA?
As stated in K6475,
The key-based SSL TPS limit applies per core and only to RSA ciphers.
