Abstract

A10 Networks, Inc. commissioned The Tolly Group to evaluate the AX 3200 Advanced Traffic Manager, A10’s next-generation server load balancer. A10 Networks asked The Tolly Group to test the AX 3200 using the same test cases used by F5 Networks in its publicly available performance report. Additionally, price/performance calculations were performed.

Tolly Group engineers benchmarked the connection-per-second (cps) rate, transaction-per-second (tps) rate, SYN cookies, and aggregate throughput of the AX 3200 at Layer 4, Layer 7 plus SSL sessions for five object sizes ranging from 128- to 512K-bytes. Then, engineers calculated the price/performance. Tests were conducted in December 2007.
