The F5 Application Delivery Firewall has the ability to outperform traditional and next generation firewalls during DDoS attacks by leveraging the performance and scalability of BIG-IP to hand…

F5 BIG-IP Advanced Firewall Manager (AFM) is deployed on the BIG-IP platform, which uses dedicated hardware such as FPGAs and custom ASICs on higher-end appliances to process extremely high throughput, large concurrent connection counts, and high connection rates per second - all metrics that general-purpose traditional and NGFW platforms cannot match under volumetric DDoS conditions.

False is incorrect because F5 explicitly positions BIG-IP AFM as capable of outperforming traditional firewalls during DDoS attacks by leveraging the BIG-IP platform's purpose-built scalability and hardware acceleration.
