Q1: What is the main difference between the AWF-R5600 and the AWF-R10600?
A1: The AWF-R10600 introduces standard RAID1 mirrored SSDs and dual hot-swappable power supplies for true carrier-grade redundancy, doubles RAM to 256 GB, and adds extra 100 G/25 G ports, pushing SSL TPS to 115 K and L7 threat throughput to 125 Gbps—turning it into a platform built for the largest, most demanding environments.
Q2: Why does the AWF-R10600 have fewer tenancy vCPUs (24) than the AWF-R5900 (26)?
A2: The r10000 architecture purposely dedicates 12 cores to the underlying F5OS, leaving 24 for tenants. This separation keeps the control plane stable and responsive even when traffic or attack volumes spike—an essential safeguard for carrier-grade uptime.
Q3: Is the F5-BIG-AWF-R10600 designed for inline deployment?
A3: Absolutely. With 125 Gbps of L7 inspection, four 100 G and sixteen 25 G ports, plus built-in RAID1 storage and dual power supplies, it drops seamlessly inline at the data-center edge or core without introducing a single point of failure.
Q4: Can this model protect against large-scale DDoS attacks?
A4: When licensed with the Best Bundle, the R10600 runs AFM alongside its WAF, delivering 160 M SYN cookies per second and line-rate mitigation for both volumetric floods and sophisticated application-layer attacks.
