starting guide for asm

i was wondering if anyone knew of a good beginner's guide to asm? we're eval'ing it right now and none of the documentation i've found is very useful.

Hi Mike,

 

We are seeing unexpected ASM behaviour. we are using URL based rated limiting with below rates.

 

TPS increased by 1000 % TPS reached 10 transactions per second Minimum TPS Threshold for detection 5 transactions per second

 

When requests were sent at 12 TPS rate for 11 min, around 3614 requests out of 7500 requests sent. Isn’t F5 rejecting more requests? As per policy set, F5 should reject 2 TPS/Sec i.e. around 1320 requests, but it’s rejecting around 50% (3614) of connections.

 

We are using jmeter tool for load testing.
