As WLB noted, SOL6475 covers the enforcement logic:

 

The BIG-IP system utilizes a 10ms window (1/100 of a second) to calculate the current TPS. If the number of TPS requests within any 10ms window exceeds 1/100 of the licensed TPS, an error message regarding the TPS limit being reached is sent to the /var/log/ltm file.

 

A TPS for licensing enforcement is a new, resumed or renegotiated clientside SSL handshake.
