F5 BIG-IP r5800 High-Capacity Application Delivery Controller
The F5 BIG-IP r5800 is a high-capacity Application Delivery Controller (ADC) built on the F5 rSeries platform for enterprise data centers, service providers and demanding application environments. It combines high-speed network interfaces, hardware-assisted traffic processing, SSL/TLS acceleration and F5's modern F5OS platform architecture with BIG-IP application delivery services.
Designed for high-volume application traffic, the r5800 provides up to 95 Gbps L4 throughput and 85 Gbps L7 throughput, up to 3.3 million L7 requests per second, up to 1.4 million L4 connections per second and up to 85 million concurrent L4 connections. These capabilities make the platform suitable for large-scale application load balancing, traffic management and application service consolidation.

High-Capacity Application Delivery
The F5 BIG-IP r5800 is designed for environments where application traffic volumes, connection density and transaction rates require a high-performance physical ADC. Its combination of L4/L7 processing capacity and high-speed network interfaces allows organizations to consolidate application delivery services while maintaining substantial network headroom.
Depending on the deployed BIG-IP software and licensing, the platform can support application load balancing, local traffic management, health monitoring, persistence, traffic steering and other application-aware traffic management functions.
100G and 25G Network Connectivity
The r5800 provides 2x 100G/40G QSFP28/QSFP+ ports together with 8x 25G/10G SFP28/SFP+ ports. This high-speed interface combination is suited to data-center aggregation, high-capacity application networks and service-provider environments.
F5 specifies that only F5-provided optics are supported. Transceiver selection should therefore be validated against the required interface speed, optical technology and F5 compatibility requirements before deployment.
SSL/TLS and Security Processing
Encrypted application traffic can place considerable processing demands on application infrastructure. The r5800 provides hardware-assisted SSL/TLS processing with up to 80K TPS for 2K SSL and up to 45 Gbps bulk encryption. Hardware compression and SYN-cookie-based DDoS protection further extend the platform's ability to process demanding application workloads.
F5OS and BIG-IP Architecture
The r5800 uses the F5 rSeries architecture, combining the F5OS platform layer with BIG-IP TMOS. F5 describes rSeries as an API-first, automatable platform designed for application delivery and security services. This architecture enables organizations to deploy BIG-IP tenants while managing the underlying platform through F5OS interfaces.
Multi-Tenancy
The r5800 supports up to 18 BIG-IP tenants, with 18 vCPUs available for tenancy and 6 vCPUs reserved for the F5OS platform layer. This makes the appliance suitable for service consolidation, organizational separation and environments that require multiple isolated BIG-IP application delivery instances on a shared hardware platform.
Enterprise and Data-Center Applications
- High-capacity application load balancing
- Enterprise application delivery
- Data-center traffic management
- High-volume web and API application environments
- SSL/TLS offloading and encryption processing
- Application availability and health monitoring
- Service-provider application infrastructure
- Multi-tenant application delivery environments
- High-speed 100G and 25G application networks
Compatibility and Licensing Considerations
The r5800 is a multi-tenant rSeries platform, and the actual application delivery features available depend on the BIG-IP software image, licensed modules, tenant configuration and applicable licensing model. Confirm the required BIG-IP services, software version, licensing, optics and deployment architecture before purchase.
F5's published performance figures are platform ratings based on specific traffic and service conditions. Actual performance can vary depending on enabled BIG-IP services, traffic patterns, SSL configuration and overall deployment design.
