WAF Sizing

Hi,

Below datasheet of F5 appliances.

https://www.f5.com/pdf/products/big-ip-platforms-datasheet.pdf

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.
