Abstract

Citrix Systems commissioned Tolly to benchmark the latency of its NetScaler MPX17000 application delivery controller and compare that to the F5 BIG-IP 8800.

Tests were run using the latest software from both vendors with each appliance outfitted with its maximum number of 10GbE interfaces.

Ixia network testing equipment was used to drive various loads ranging from 1,200 to 1.2 million concurrent connections.

The Citrix NetScaler appliance consistently delivered significantly lower latency than the F5 BIG-IP across the range of tests.
