Lightboard Lessons: SSL Transactions Per Second
The number of SSL Transactions Per Second (TPS) that your BIG-IP can handle is important to know as you deploy web applications. In this video, we discuss how the BIG-IP calculates how many SSL TPS you can perform and what you can do if you are getting close to your limit. During the video, a couple of tmsh commands are referenced; here they are for your review.
The command (and sample response) to show how many SSL Transactions Per Second you are licensed for:
tmsh show sys license detail | grep -i perf_SSL_total_TPS
perf_SSL_total_TPS : 500
The command (and sample response) to show how many TMMs you have:
tmsh show sys tmm-info global | grep -i 'TMM count'
TMM Count 4
Remember to multiply the SSL TPS by the number of TMMs to get the overall number of SSL TPS for your BIG-IP system (in this case, 500 x 4 = 2,000 total SSL TPS).
