Jan,
With the introduction of TCP Adaptive Buffering in WAAS 4.1, TCP send and receive buffers are dynamically sized as network conditions warrant. In most cases, you do not need to modify the acceleration TCP adaptive buffering settings because your WAAS system automatically configures the TCP adaptive buffer settings based on the network bandwidth and delay experienced by each connection.
Adaptive buffering allows the WAAS software to dynamically vary the size of the send and receive buffers to increase performance and more efficiently use the available network bandwidth.Manual configuration of the buffers isn't normally necessary. Only in cases of troubleshooting performance problems, manual configuration may come handy.
So, the question is are you observing a performance problem at this site? Also, if you will be modifying the buffers on this site's WAE you should also modify them on the peer WAE(s) (e.g. the DC WAE) as well to keep the buffers in sync. Note, the TFO adaptive buffering feature will need to be disabled in order for these static buffers to take affect.
