Hi Bob,

 

 

SSL TPS connections are only counted for Client-Side SSL Connections.

 

 

You can also refer to SOL4415: Overview of SSL encryption and decryption licensing.

 

 

 

BIG-IP licenses include a limit on the number of SSL transactions per second that BIG-IP can decrypt. This license applies only to the client side of the transaction. Re-encryption and succeeding decryption are not counted against the license limit.

 

 

For example, if your BIG-IP is licensed for 1000 TPS, BIG-IP receives 500 new SSL sessions from clients, and then re-encrypts the sessions, this will count as only 500 TPS against the license limit.
