TCP Connection queuing
•
•
•
•
Operates at TCP level; HTTP not required
Currently only engages when conn limit hit
Specify queue length limit, time limit, or both
Queues operate per-tmm (no state sharing)
•
•
Length limit divided by tmm count
FIFO guarantees only per-tmm
• Queued at the pool level for non-persistent connections
• Queued at the pool member level for persistent connections
•
If conn limit is overridden by persistence, that conn is not queued
• When a pool member becomes available, it checks the head of its
queue, and of the pool’s queue, and services the flow that got there

Scalable GSLB Performance
Step 1: Multicore (CMP) BIG-IP GTM v11
• Enable users to access apps during spikes
• Scale with GTM query performance utilizing hardware
–
–
–
CMP enabled utilizing full set of processing cores
Up to 6 million QPS on VIPRION
Each CPU Core ~ high performance DNS server = 130k+ qps
• Integrates GTM in TMM for exponential performance
Preliminary estimates: (may exceed)
125k

Eases the IPv6 Evolution
DNS 6  4
•
•
•
•
Combined NAT64 and DNS64 provide automatic translation
Supports pure IPv6 clients accessing both IPv6/IPv4 sites
Critical for mobile devices and any client optimized for pure IPv6
Eases evolution and bridges gap between IPv6/IPv4 DNS
