Hello sunny123!
KeesvandenBos has provided a viable iRule solution, for a specific attack but to continue answering the second part; yes! Advanced WAF has denial of service capabilities specifically to mitigate these types of attacks.
Here is a great video overview of how behavioral DoS can react to stress on your backend systems and mitigate aggressive requests.

There's an entire implementations guide "Preventing DoS Attacks on Applications"
And well, because a lot of these types of requests are automated, F5's bot defense can help you identify and mitgate automated requests.
