Hi Jason,

 

Great Video! Finally a topic regarding HT on lightboard! (can't wait to share this out :) )

 

I had a question though, so after 11.5, if even cores exceed 80% and let's say the load to CPU is still increasing, how bigip will allocate load? Will it first use tmm0 until it reaches 100% and then to tmm1 to use that 80%? Or will bigip distribute the load to tmm1 once tmm0 exceed 80%?

 

Thanks!
