Why so high Ping Latencies in VE LTM ?

Ugh, I think I just realized what the problem is in my situation. I'm using the trial VE which, I just saw in the fine print, has a max throughput of 1 Mbps (not even bytes... 1 megabit per second). No wonder it always started to tank when I'd hit it with any kind of traffic.

Well, now I know that it's possible in theory at least. Maybe I'll work with our F5 rep to get some kind of lab license at least so I can test this out further.

Ideally it'd be great to know if this works long term because dealing with proprietary hardware like this when it dies and it's somewhat inaccessible to me is kind of a pain, so maybe we can convert our old licenses to VE boxes and not have to worry about one more piece of equipment that can fail (and our old LTM 1600's aren't supported for v13 anyway, meaning this location is now behind our other datacenter with newer F5's).

Something to think about, and I hope this helps anyone else who runs into this and foolishly ignored the little blurb about what the limits are on a VE trial license... :)
