Why not make a TCP profile per services publishing. Example is tcp-ms-share-point. In my opinion is this the best option. For example, I have a share point with large file transfer. Without F5 the download to the client is 60Mbps and through F5 is max 40Mbps. This is really frustrating to tune. In my case on 13.1.0.3 is the best option tcp-lan-optimized with some tuning. I have tried mptcp-mobile-optimized and in my case is really not an option. The worst thing is that a costumer won't switch to F5 ADC as work better directly on MS.
