ASM impact on ltm

With the newer SSL cipher suites, you are better off using the 2000s platform which can handle the newer ciphers better than the older platform like 1600. As a rule of thumb, based on experience, I would recommend planning for a 20-30% hit in resource utilization for the same amount of traffic in order to add a new ASM module to the existing LTM module. However, this is quite a generic recommendation and could vary depending on traffic characteristics.
