performance of iRules
Hello iRules users,
The company I work for is currently investigating the various available load balancing solutions and
I have a very general question regarding the performance of rule languages such as iRules to control traffic. Any pointer or feedback is appreciated. I am looking both for user's feeling about this subject and benchmark results.
In particular:
- how does iRules compare with zeus trafficscript ?(or others)
- how does it scale ? (e.g. how many rules can be activated on the system without noticeable degradation...)
- what is the performance cost of a script performing basic scenario (e.g. select a destination based on http header)
versus having no script and using the default routing logic ?
- are there any guidelines to avoid performance issues or features of the language that are known as performance killers
thanks for any help or information
