Editor's Notes
*Note: What Citrix, Radware, Brocade, A10 publish as their L7 RPS is actually what we call L4 HTTP RPS because unlike F5 methodology, they don’t do any L7 inspection.
Only product with 10G ports
Only product with Dual power available
Only product with DC power
Most power efficient
Highest Compression throughput
Highest throughput
Highest SSL Bulk throughput
Best SSL Performance and feature set
A10 must go to AX3000 platform for 10GigE ports
