Q1: What is the main difference between the AWF-R10600 and the AWF-R10800?
A1: Same chassis, same redundancy, but the R10800 license adds 30% more SSL horsepower—150 K TPS versus 115 K—and bumps vCPUs from 24 to 28. Pick it when you need to decrypt heavier encrypted loads or run more demanding policy stacks.
Q2: Does the F5-BIG-AWF-R10800 have any physical differences from the AWF-R10600?
A2: None. The hardware is identical—same RAID1 SSDs, same dual PSUs, same port layout. The R10800 simply unlocks extra performance through licensing.
Q3: What kind of security policies benefit most from the 28 vCPUs?
A3: Anything CPU-heavy—ML-driven bot defense, deep JSON/XML API inspection, or spinning up lots of vCMP guest WAFs in multi-tenant clouds.
Q4: Is the AWF-R10800 the best WAF F5 offers?
A4: It’s the sweet spot in the flagship line. If you need absolute max performance, step up to the AWF-R10900, which pushes SSL TPS and vCPUs even higher for the planet’s busiest networks.
