i2800's L4 HTTP requests per second is lower than the 4000s
I would like to know why the L4 HTTP requests per second on the i2800 is lower than the 4000s? The rest of the specs on the iSeries is higher except for that item. Below are the specs from the hardware datasheet: BIG-IP i2800: L7 requests per second: 650K L4 connections per second: 250K L4 HTTP requests per second: 1M Maximum L4 concurrent connections: 14M Throughput: 10 Gbps L4/L7 BIG-IP 4000s: L7 requests per second: 425K L4 connections per second: 150K L4 HTTP requests per second: 1.25M Maximum L4 concurrent connections: 10M Throughput: 10 Gbps L4/L7
HA between rSeries tenant and iSeries appliance.
According to F5 documentation, the BIG-IP system supports either homogeneous or heterogeneous hardware platforms within a device group. I want to confirm if anyone has tried to put rSeries tenants and iSeries appliances in the same cluster? Obviously, I understand they will need to be on same version and of course vlans will be same on both. If you have tried this before, what were your challenges and how did you overcome them? I am considering this approach because it makes migration easier and seamless.
