LTM profile RAMCACHE

Hi,   LTM Profile RAMCACHE has only 40 records, but http acceleration profile has 10,000 maximum entries why big-ip limits to 40 records? (ramcache has freespace)

Hi,

 

For example, if your objects exceed 10 MB there's no more room for any other object in the cache (If your cache size config has a 10 MB value). Also, if your objects are not betweeen the Minimum/Maximun Object Size (in bytes), the web acceleration profile don't cache/storage those objects in RAM.

 

The same thing occurs for the other configuration parameters. So check carefully if your objects meet your Web Acceleration profile "matching" criteria.

 

You could use the command tmsh show ltm profile ramcache in order to check the cache Miss/Hit process.

 

Here you have some details:

 

Cacheable content

 

You can configure the BIG-IP cache feature to cache the following content types:

 

  • 200, 203, 300, 301, and 410 HTTP responses
  • Responses to HTTP GET requests
  • Other HTTP methods for URIs specified for inclusion in cached content, or specified in an iRule
  • Content based on the User-Agent and Accept-Encoding values. The cache feature holds different content for Vary headers.

Non-cacheable content

 

The cache feature does not cache the following items:

 

  • Data specified by the following Cache-Control headers: private, no-store, no-cache
  • Action-oriented HTTP methods such as HEAD, PUT, DELETE, TRACE, and CONNECT
