Hi Sebastiansierra, 

 

Thanks for the response. 

 

I think once the TCP 3 way handshake is completed the same TCP session is used until the client closes the connection or until the idle timeout is expired i.e 300seconds in our case.

 

So having HTTP profile which is injecting cookies for persistence should not be a factor to stop this file transfer. So the only thing I was trying to see is if TCP ZeroWindow is full but that is not the case too.

 

So in general are you saying that on Layer 7 Virtual Server with HTTP profile with Cookie persistence we cannot transfer large files? and have to switch to Layer 4 Virtual Server?
