fastl4 vs full-acceleration

Hello,

When I checked what the difference between the two profiles, I found that both settings were the same.
However, I tested the application of the two different profiles, found that the transfer speed is obviously different.

I am using the VE version, so ePVA should not have an impact
What is the difference between these two profiles?

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

    Hope below details may help you.

    Full Acceleration
    All traffic is load balanced using Layer 4 features, such as virtual servers that operate only on IP addresses and ports of incoming traffic. The Full acceleration mode is not compatible with Layer 7 features, such as cookie persistence, header insertion, and rules that operate on data payload content.

    FastL4
    The FastL4 profile is a protocol profile that you can use to manage Layer 4 (L4) traffic on the BIG-IP system. Using the FastL4 profile can increase virtual server performance and throughput for supported platforms by using the embedded Packet Velocity Acceleration (ePVA) chip to accelerate traffic.
