11501 w/SSLM speed/throughput issues

yycsandman007
Level 1
Level 1

Hi there...I have implemented an 11501 w/SSLM in our environment, and when the app teams are doing their testing, they are telling me thet the performance and speed is degraded when they are testing against the VIP versus against the actual backend host. I have done as much troubleshooting as I can and there is nothing out of the ordinary that I can see....below is a copy and paste of the relevant config portions.....maybe someone else can see something there that would explain this abnormal behavior...their testing took about 8 mins when they went straight to the host, and about 20 mins when they tested against the VIP...

Thanks in advance,

Sandeep

for better performance, you want to use the following commands

ssl-server 1 tcp virtual nagle disable

ssl-server 1 tcp server nagle disable

ssl-server 1 tcp virtual ack-delay 0

ssl-server 1 tcp server ack-delay 0

ssl-server 1 ssl-queue-delay 0

If that does not improve the situation, get a sniffer trace of the best performance[ w/o css] and the worst performance [w/ css] and compare the 2.

There are other possible connection tuning.

Gilles.
