A company is planning to deploy ASM on a BIG-IP model that supports a maximum of 100,000 concurrent connections. The expected peak traffic is 80,000 concurrent connections. However, the ASM policy is complex and includes many checks. What should the administrator consider?

The device may not handle the expected connections due to policy overhead

The device will exceed the connection limit

The device will handle the connections because it is below the maximum

The device's throughput will be the limiting factor

A company is deploying ASM on a BIG-IP model that is rated for a maximum throughput of 5 Gbps. During a load test, the administrator observes that the ASM throughput reaches 5 Gbps, but the CPU utilization is at 95% and latency spikes. What does this indicate about the device's performance?

The device is exceeding its rated throughput

The device is performing optimally because it meets its rated throughput

The device has a memory bottleneck

The device is at its throughput limit, but CPU is the actual bottleneck

An ASM administrator is monitoring a BIG-IP and sees the following metrics: requests per second = 5000, throughput = 2 Gbps, latency = 100 ms, CPU = 95%, memory = 80%. The device is rated for 3 Gbps throughput and 100,000 concurrent connections. What is the most likely bottleneck?
