-- Lower performance in TPS. -- Increased CPU consumption for throughput.
Lower TPS performance numbers and higher CPU usage in throughput tests.
-- Running BIG-IP Virtual Edition (VE) (UNIC is the default Virtual Function Network Driver for VE). -- High data rates, perhaps particularly when connection mirroring is configured.
In case of UNIC, extra CPUs must be allocated to handle SoftIRQs for higher performance.
This release provides a native driver based on F5's physical platforms.
