AltocumulusExplict Proxy Extremely Slow
hello
using f5 13.1 v. Setting up a explict proxy with APM and SGW, i have the connectivity working correctly. SSL inspection and standard http is working. The issue experienced is the slowness ...
for anyone that comes across this issue.
Issue - When running VMware workstation 12.x + and the F5 BigIP VM on the same virtual network (eg client and the internal interface).
Resolution - Change the client/source vm accessing the F5 (explict proxy) to an vmxnet3 nic rather then e1000e nic.
Explanation - The issue is F5 will not run anything other then 10GbT (10Gb) and mixing with 1Gb is causing extreme throughput issues. For example on a 100Mbit internet connection, getting a download speed of 27.5Kbps/sec.
