Architecture Deep Dives/Internals

Hi I'm a sysadmin, looking for info on the BigIP F5 AFM (but also for other products...)

 

I have cisco devices and i'm used to being able to get deep-dive/"internals" videos from sources such as ciscolive.com. including stuff like: * model x has n asics and their roles are x,y,z * there are input queues for t and they can be monitored using command y * ... etc

 

Is there anything like this for f5?

 

I can see that there are sessions at the Agility conferences that look interesting, but i can only see downloads of slides.. is there any video for the agility sessions? example: https://devcentral.f5.com/d/agility-2015-afm-101-lab-documents

 

I have seen the whiteboard wednesday's videos. particularly the one below. but it's possibly a bit too high-level.. again i'd like to see details on data flow and points at which it can be monitored, queues in which drops could happen for one reason or another... https://devcentral.f5.com/articles/whiteboard-wednesday-big-ip-life-of-a-packet?tag=wbw

    I am not aware of any customer facing documentation of this kind, but I would suggest reaching out to your account team. It is possible they may have resources of this kind that I am not aware of. They might also be able to put something like this together if it does not exists. If you do find resources like this, please post back to this question so others may gain. Thank you.
