Hi,

 

I recommend version 12.1.2

 

Interesting LTM features are:

 

  • HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) functionality (Can be done with an irule in version 11.X)
  • Local Trafic policy redesign
  • iRuleXL enhanced
  • HTTP/2 support

do not install version X.0.0 except if one feature is missing on the previous version.
