Hi Wynand,

 

 

Do you need to store the request and response? If so, I don't think it's practical to try to store 1mil x 130Kb of data in a session table as that's ~124Gb of data. Our biggest platforms aren't in that range of memory per TMM instance. I suggest contacting an F5 SE or partner to try to get more specific sizing information and recommendations on how you could approach this project.
