    Hello,

     

    ASM is a Web application firewall and is dedicated to the protection of web apps.

     

    You can use the ASM license to protect smtp and ftp services.

     

    If you have a custom TCP app, you have better to go with LTM, irules and IP Intelligence (ip reputation db)

     

    You can find info on devcebtral and askf5.f5.com
