The F5 BIG-IP appliance must be configured to set the "Max In Progress Sessions per Client IP" value to 10 or less.

The "Max In Progress Sessions Per Client IP" setting in an APM Access Pro?le is a security con?guration that limits the number of simultaneous sessions that can be initiated from a single IP address. This is particularly helpful in preventing a session ?ood, where a hacker might attempt to overwhelm the system by initiating many sessions from a single source. By capping the number of sessions per IP, this setting can help maintain the system's stability and integrity while also providing a layer of protection against such potential attacks. False positives may result from this setting in networks where users are behind a shared proxy. Sites should conduct operational testing to determine if there are adverse operational impacts. Log reports should be obtained to identify recurring IP sources within the user community.
