If I may add, the BIG-IP is a network proxy device. Like a router or a switch, it plugs into TCP/IP networks, but unlike a switch or router is highly intelligent at OSI layers 4 through 7. The protocols that you mention are simply the ones that BIG-IP is "smarter" about than others. It is agnostic to any other protocols and can handle any TCP or UDP traffic.
