About DAG modes for BIG-IP scalability
BIG-IP scalability relies on load balancing (parallelizing) the processing
of incoming packets across a large number of TMMs (cores). This is accomplished with various
disaggregation algorithms. This section provides a concise description of these algorithms. Note,
selecting the wrong disaggregation mode can have a severe impact on performance.
DAG is configured per VLAN. Note, this means that the client and server
sides of BIG-IP should be configured on different VLANs. So it's possible to configure different
DAG modes for client and server connections. However, when a server responds to a client request,
and a connection is already established, DAG is not used.
