On a BIG-IP device, hardware acceleration is still showing as 'Full' for some ciphersuites that employ a combination of software and hardware acceleration. It should be showing an acceleration type of 'Partial' in these cases.
No impact to any other module
When some operations (such as handshakes) happen in software while others (such as bulk encryption / decryption) are hardware-accelerated, for some ciphersuites.
None.
Hardware acceleration statistics will be incremented as follows: 1. If all operations concerning the handshake and bulk encryption are done in hardware, the result is Full. 2. If some operations are done in software, while others are done in hardware the result is Partial. 3. If no operations are hardware accelerated the result is None (Software).
