Abstract

Radware commissioned The Tolly Group to evaluate the performance of its OnDemand Switch 1 AppDirector Version 1.06, the company’s next-generation platform, in comparison with F5 Network’s BIG-IP 1500.

Tolly Group engineers determined the connection-per-second (cps) rate and the corresponding throughput and response time for 10 object sizes at Layer 7 in multiple scenarios of a single HTTP request per connection and 10 HTTP requests per connection, while also testing the ability of the platforms to maintain service levels while dealing with DDoS attack.

Tests were conducted in February 2008.
