Help: F5 Load Balancers

Hello everyone.

Does anyone know where I can find some good information about F5 load balancers?

More specifically, I am trying to find answers to these question/describe topics:

What is the main use case for an F5 load balancer?
Describe the architecture of an environment that uses F5.
What are the main advantages of F5 compared to other similar products?

Thank you all.

Homework? I'm pretty sure this is answered in at least a dozen white papers on F5's website.

LOL!

Seriously though, we're not in it to do your homework for you. These are simple questions though.

On a separate note it would be cool to see a section dedicated to load balancing tech. I dealt with it a ton in my last job, lots of on the job learning.
