Speaking about sales, our customers now target larger models of load
balancers on average thanks to this new trend of putting TLS just to
look good. That's great, some sites have just one connection per client,
so we see only fresh new connections, the worst case! So they have to
buy a device capable of 60K HTTP CPS to use only 5K HTTPS CPS, for sure
the technical improvements pleases the sales people :-)
