Compression Question

Hi - we have the compression card in our F5 6400 and I'm curious what the best practices are for setting:

 

 

1. Gzip Memory Level - Currently set to 64k

 

2. Gzip Windows Size - Currently set to 128k

 

 

Also, if you can provide a brief description of each I'd really appreciate it!

 

 

Thanks!

    I personally never have used this but I found one article related to WAN Optimization

    Compression only works if your compressing something that is not compressed.
