F5 Silverline Managed Services Scalability

I know that F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall is scalable. We are using this product in two enterprise setups that can have a hundred thousand-plus requests at any given time.
Scalability for products like F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall or Incapsula is pretty easy because their sizing is managed by the vendor. Therefore, you don't have to really bother about what goes in there because that's a black box for you. However, if you are doing it on-premises, it's a task.
I've been involved in upgrading a traditional WAF to Advanced WAF. It's basically a license upgrade involving testing and re-profiling of applications and things like that. It's a sort of straightforward task. If you have the right team, it is not something really difficult. It isn't something like where you just add a few boxes and then scale.
Our airline client has millions of customers, and all this data is going via F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall, which is a lot of data. It's an enterprise kind of setup. We're not talking about end-user traffic here. We're talking about B2C traffic. For end-user traffic, we have around 400-odd unique URLs behind the F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall on-premises, which is again an Advanced WAF module. F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall has around 60,000 to 80,000 users, not at the peak but spread over time. All B2C requests coming into the website, like booking or looking for your seats on the flight, go via F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall, and that could go up to millions of hits a day.

We haven't had any problems in terms of scalability. However, we had to use more hardware because of the enterprise business that we have.
Next year, we have an additional phase for improving the infrastructure. At that time we may expand the usage of this solution and perhaps buy some other products as well.

In terms of the scalability, this part is always so confusing because they are checking for packet count. Also, after an attack, they said that the throughput must be from gigabits but then I check my bandwidth and it is already done in gigabits. So it is a little bit confusing.
