  • Hi Harry,

     

     

    The 8950 is rated for 20Gbps per this datasheet:

     

    http://www.f5.com/products/hardware/big-ip.html

     

     

    I believe the throughput numbers combine client and serverside data.

  • Hi Aaron:

     

     

    Thanks for your quick repsponse. If this is the case, BIG-IP 8950 only can provide 10G throughput to the DUT?

     

     

    A B

     

    Client -------> BIG-IP --------->Server

     

    <------- <---------

     

    C D

     

     

    If we use two arm environment. The tupu will be as above. Can I assume 20G throughput of BIG-IP 8950 is traffic A+B+C+D?

     

     

    I saw F5 's performance testing was measured by IXIA. So What 's throughput number that will be read by IXIA?

     

     

    Thanks!

  • hmmmm.Sorry. The above topu is disorder. Here is my explanation with text.

     

     

    A: the traffic from client to BIG-IP

     

    B: the traffic from BIG-IP to server

     

    C: the traffic from BIG-IP to client

     

    D: the traffic from server to BIG-IP
