I can answer that one. The limit is connections only. You can test  
this by enforcing or removing HTTP keepalives. Some services (Patrol  
web interface springs to mind) require using oneConnect if you're  
offloading SSL to ensure you don't run out of SSL TPS's.

It's worth noting however that there still appears to be confusion  
within F5 over what exactly constitutes an SSL TPS... It was only  
around september last year that an engineer tried to tell me that the  
v4 method of NOT counting resumed sessions was still valid for v9. In  
fact until recently it was even documented that way on the F5  
website). (I think it's been ammended on tech.f5.com, but I could be  
wrong on that one).
