In previous releases, the maximum configurable Request Body Size Limit for a POST body was 10 MB, with a default of 1 MB. When this WAF option is enabled, any requests that are larger than this limit are blocked by the WAF engine. The configurable limit has now been increased to 50 MB. This setting is available in a WAF-enabled Virtual Service under WAF Advanced Options, when the Inspect HTTP POST Request Bodies setting is enabled. Note that increasing the limit above the default of 1 MB will place additional demands on system memory, depending on the number of Virtual Services on which this option is enabled and the level of traffic passing through the Virtual Services.
