AltostratusWAF Sizing
Hi,Could someone guide me what are the factors to be considered while sizing a WAF(Physical & Virtual Editions) to a customer.

Hi,
Below datasheet of F5 appliances.

You should ask your customer for:
- Required throughput. It is a WAF so L7 throughput.
- Expected number of concurrent connections.
- Expected number of new connections per second.
- If SSL is needed the expected number of TPS (Transaction per Second).
And of course the required physical ports and speed. Copper? Fiber? 1GB or 10GB.
Regards, Martijn.
