Which of the following is a software limitation of an ASM device?

Maximum number of concurrent connections

An ASM administrator observes that during a file upload campaign, the BIG-IP's memory usage spikes to 95% and stays there, while CPU remains moderate. The uploads are large, and the ASM policy includes file type and size checks. What is the most likely cause of the memory spike?

Policy enforcement causing CPU saturation

Large file uploads being buffered for inspection

An ASM administrator is planning for a new deployment and needs to ensure that the BIG-IP can handle a peak load of 10,000 requests per second with an average request size of 4 KB. The device is rated for 2 Gbps throughput. What is the most important consideration?

The device's connection limit may be exceeded

The device's throughput rating may be insufficient

The device's CPU may be insufficient

The device's memory may be insufficient
