Exchange 2007 RPC over HTTPS latency
Last week we've been moving our load balanced services from our old loadbalancers to our brand new F5 LTM's. All services seem to work smooth, however the latency on the Exchange 2007 RPC connections is now around 150ms (where it was around 15ms before).
I've configured the F5's without SSL offloading (we still want Exchange to do the SSL termination, not the LTM). Our operational Virtual Server I've configured based on the Deployment Guide Exchange 2007 (revision 1.5). Last week I tried changing some settings in a replica VS (with another virtual IP), to limit the latency on the line, but none of the changes I performed had impact on the latency.
Has someone had this issue before? Or does someone know how to resolve this?

- Just curious, why are you not terminating SSL on F5? Are you using a standard VS type for OutlookAnywhere connections? If so, can you please try to change TCP profiles to tcp-lan-optimized on both client and server side?

Since this is a migration from a production environment with over 8000 users, initial fase was just porting functionality to our F5. In second fase we were planning to do a rollout of Exchange 2010 and do termination onto the F5 servers. I have been playing around with the TCP profiles, but none of them seem to have an effect on the performance.

- Can you post your relevant VS configuration(it's fine to omit and/or obfuscate actual IPs)?
- Tiemooowh_92118NimbostratusHi Michael,
- That will work while you're not doing SSL termination on F5, but when when you switch to do SSL offload, you will need to go back to the Standard virtual type. I recommend trying a Standard virtual type now with tcp-lan-optimized profiles on both Client and Server side and see how the performance is in your case.

In standard mode none of the tcp profiles seem to make a difference.. Tried them all..
