Aug 31, 2006redirection rule based on mac address doesn't work
All,
we are trying to make an iRULE to do redirection based on the mac address of the packet that comes in.
Basically if a client connects via router A with mac address A it should go ...

Apr 29, 2009I am seeing similar problems to those being described here. We receive numerous cookies, which I believe get added by the client's web proxy. One example of this is "BCSI-CS0A84E644", which I believe originates from a BlueCoat proxy. I think it's poor form of these proxies to add a cookie, but I have to work around it. Ideally, I would like to allow all cookies that start with BCSI, but I can't find a way to do that.
I could add an iRule to delete all such cookies, but I am concerned about how the proxy will behave if the response does not contain its cookie. I suppose it might be possible to strip the cookie when recieved and then re-attach it when sending the response, but that's starting to sound like a complex solution.
Any suggestions?

- Mar 14, 2014Jose, Rate pacing works in conjunction with the initial congestion window. Many of our TCP profiles have the initial congestion set to 10 as that does help significantly with the transmission of short-lived TCP connections like web transactions. Changing the initial congestion window results in a faster TCP start up process as many web transactions complete before exiting slow start. Traffic bursts can still occur on the network with the initial congestion window set to 10. I propose using both an initial congestion window of 10 and rate pacing for the best user experience

What about increasing initial congestion windows size to 10?
