Bug ID 742080: do not count resumed connections against SSL TPS

Last Modified: Sep 13, 2023

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IP LTM(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
12.1.3.2, 12.1.3.3, 12.1.3.4, 12.1.3.5, 12.1.3.6, 12.1.3.7, 12.1.4, 12.1.4.1, 12.1.5, 12.1.5.1, 12.1.5.2, 12.1.5.3, 12.1.6

Fixed In:
15.0.0

Opened: Aug 29, 2018

Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

The SSL TPS limit is based on the time complexity of the operations needed to create a new session. A resumed session does not have this complexity, and therefore should not count against the licensed TPS limit.

Impact

Not as many new SSL connections/second as expected.

Conditions

SSL is licensed with a limit other than `unlimited'

Workaround

There is no workaround

Fix Information

Resumed SSL sessions no longer count against the TPS limit.
