F5 Networks - BigIP Market Penetration (by IP Address)
August 1st, 2006
F5 is a company specializing in networking and
security products. F5's load balancer is finding its way into many
organizations. This report leverages returned information found in the HTTP
protocol allowing us to detect the existence of F5 products, and thus report
on the market penetration rate of these products.
The detection of F5 is done via two basic mechanisms:
1. The server signature may return back an indicator of "BigIP".
$ telnet 192.168.1.1 80
Trying 192.168.1.1...
Connected to 192.168.1.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET / HTTP/1.0
HTTP/1.0 301 Moved Permanently
Location: https://192.168.1.1/
Server: BigIP
Connection: close
Content-Length: 0
Connection closed by foreign host.
$
2. The cookies returned back may indicate a load balancer is in use.
$ telnet 192.168.1.1 80
Trying 192.168.1.1...
Connected to 192.168.1.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET / HTTP/1.0

The following graph and table demonstrates the percentage of IP addresses
that are indicating one of the above mentioned signatures.
The sample size (the # of distinct IP addresses hosting a web server of
some sort) is:
2,906,467.
