AX 系列性能报告
Two independent performance tests conducted by The Tolly Group evaluated A10's AX Series Advanced Traffic Managers using the same methodology as F5's publicly available 2007 performance report. In both tests, the AX Series delivered over twice the performance at less than half the price of incumbents. For comparisons of the latest AX Series and F5 BIG-IP models please visit the price/performance page.
In one test, The Tolly Group evaluated the AX 3200 versus F5's publicly available performance test, which included performance results for the Big-IP 8800 and competing products from Citrix/NetScaler and Cisco. The AX 3200 is a 10 Gigabit server load balancer designed for enterprises, ISPs and carriers. Here are the highlights of the AX 3200 performance test:
- Scales Layer 7 performance to more than 1.5 million transactions per second (TPS)
- Exhibits over 540,000 Layer 4 connections per second (CPS)
- Supports over 9 million SYN cookies per second
- Over double the performance at less than half the price of incumbents

We tested A10 Networks' high-end AX 3200 using the same test methodologies as F5's published performance report, and then tested A10's entry-level AX 2100 versus the BIG-IP 3400 using the same test methodologies again. After certifying the test environment and performing the evaluations, the results showed that A10's AX 3200 delivers outstanding performance in a cost-effective platform and the AX 2100 delivers significantly better price/performance at Layer 4, Layer 7 and SSL than the BIG-IP 3400.
