NimbostratusHow to use compression
Hello all,
I would like to know if the webaccelerator or packet velocity or some other mechanism can be used to gzip traffic from our F5. The downstream application can gunzip the traffic.

Most boxes have 5Mbps of compression enabled in the default license. You can add additional capacity via license key. You can enable it in the http profile settings. If the application is not http-based though I don't think that will work.

Hubbell_105561Thanks Denny. Currently the downstream app does not have the capacity needed to gunzip. It may later.
Still not clear to me what webaccelerator or the packet velocity features do. So that's still a place we need to look at also.
