> any stage of the request or the response L4-L7 at FPGA speeds
I also work at F5, and used to work on the FPGA. This is unfortunately not true for TCL iRules. The FPGA basically only operates on L2-4, L7 is all software.
There was some talk about doing L7/iRules in an FPGA but prototypes never produced compelling enough performance gains to make it worth it.
