Slow download via SSL in a CSS 11501

Level 1

Hello,

I have 2 CSS 11501 providing load-balancing rules and SSL termination.

When CSS is used for downloading through the rules of SSL, the rates I get are quite lower than those obtained when the download is done either directly on the machine or by using the rules of HTTP. Is it normal? Is there anything that canspeed up this process?

Can someone give me a hand?

Thanks,

Cláudio Soares

Hi Claudio,

You should not notice any performance impact when doing a connection through the CSS, so this is definitely something that should be investigated further. I would recommend opening a TAC service request for it.

Out of experience, I can already say that most of the times, SSL slowness is due to some bugs related to TCP window scaling that result in very small packets being used for the connection. You should be able to get rid of most of them by upgrading to the latest 8.20 release and adding the command "flow tcp-window-scale disabled" to your configuration.

I hope this helps

Daniel
