Intelligent HTTP Compression Most Intelligent and flexible solution to target HTTP compression where it matters most • URI/content filters – allow/disallow lists • Compress only specified file types • Based on URI or MIME type • Client-aware compression (patent pending) • Based on TCP latency – observe client RTT • Based on low bandwidth client connections • Granular L7 based compression • Tunable resource allocation • Devote more memory and CPU cycles for high priority compression jobs • Adaptable Compression • Scale back compression based on CPU load

TCP Express • Behaviors of a good TCP/IP implementation. • Proper congestion detection. • Good congestion recovery. • High bandwidth utilization. • Being too aggressive can cause individual connections to consume all of the network. • Not being aggressive enough will leave unused bandwidth especially during a low number of connections. • Always needs to adapt to changing congestion. • Increased windowing and buffering will often help compensate for latency and can also offload the application equipment more quickly. • Most important tuning you can do in TCP typically has to do with window sizes and retransmission logic (aka congestion control behavior). • On today’s networks, loss is almost always caused from congestion. • Most TCP stacks are not aggressive enough.
F5’s TCP Congestion Control Algorithms • Reno Congestion Control • Original TCP fast recover algorithm based on BSD Reno. • Initially grows congestion window exponentially during the slow-start period. • After slow-start, increases CWND by 1MSS for each CWND acked (this is linear growth). • When loss or a recovery episode is detected, the CWND is cut in half. • New Reno modifications (this is currently the default mode) • Improves on the Reno behaviour. • When entering a recovery episode, implements a fast retransmit: • Each ACK less than the recovery threshold triggers a one-time resend of the data started by the ACK. • Results in more aggressively sending the missing data and exiting the recovery period. • Scalable TCP (added in 9.4) • Improves on the NewReno behaviour. • Upon loss, the CWND is reduced by only 1/8. • Once out of slow start, CWND increases by 1% of an MSS for each CWND ACK’d. • HighSpeed (F5's proprietary congestion control added in 9.4) • Similarly improves on the NewReno behaviour in combination with Scalable TCP. • Progressively switches from NewReno to Scalable TCP based on the size of the CWND. • Upon loss, the CWND is reduced by somewhere between ½ and 1/8. • CWND grows somewhere between 1% and 100% of an MSS for each CWND ACK’d.

Content Spooling Problem: TCP Overhead on Servers • There is overhead for breaking apart…”chunking” content • Client and Server negotiate TCP segmentation • Client forces more segmentation that is good for the server • The Servers is burdened with breaking content up into small pieces for good client consumption Solution Slurp up server response Spoon feed clients Benefit: Increases server capacity up to 15%
