Exhibit 10.22

                                F5 NETWORKS, INC.

                                   JOHN MCADAM
                                 PRESIDENT & CEO
                             2003 COMPENSATION PLAN

COMPENSATION CATEGORIES

The total compensation package is designed to provide the President & CEO
$779,100 in annual income, plus upside earnings potential, according to the
following categories:

1.    ANNUAL BASE SALARY: Compensation for managing the efforts of the Executive
      team. $445,200 payable bi-weekly in arrears.

2.    INCENTIVE COMPENSATION: Offered to the President & CEO for leading his
      team to meet their objectives. 50% of the incentive compensation will be
      based on successfully achieving each quarterly revenue goal. The other 50%
      of the incentive compensation will be based on achieving each quarterly
      EBITDA goal. Target annual income from incentive compensation is $333,900
      at plan (75% of base salary), plus significant upside for exceeding goals.

PAYMENT TERMS

The incentive compensation will be paid linearly above 80% of targeted goals.
(i.e.: 80% of the possible incentive compensation will be paid for revenues at
80% of goal, 90% is paid for revenues at 90% of goal.) There is no limit,
however both goals must hit 100% for the accelerator to apply. No incentive
compensation will be paid for results less than 80% of goals. If earned,
payments will be made quarterly.

EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM

This plan shall take effect on October 1, 2002 and shall remain in effect until
September 30, 2003.

TERMINATION

If the President & CEO's employment terminates prior to the end of the fiscal
2003, he will be eligible to receive incentive compensation payments only
through the end of the last full quarter employed.

NOTICES

F5 Networks reserves the right to change, alter or cancel any provision
contained within this plan upon written notice to the President & CEO. Nothing
in this plan is intended to grant a right to employment for any specific term.

AMIGUITIES AND INCONSISTENCIES

This plan has been carefully considered and is meant to be reasonable and
complete. When circumstances occur which require special interpretation,
however, it shall be the responsibility of the Compensation Committee to
determine the intent of the plan and to render a judgment, which is fair to both
the President & CEO, and the company.
