APM SSL VPN Slow Performance
Having the usual slow throughput/performance APM problem as a lot of people seem to have.
However, I think it's worth mentioning that I'm only using APM for SSL VPN purposes.
So, we have a 1Gbit Internet connection, into FWs that connect to our core environment at 10Gig. The F5 connects at 1Gig. Our speedtests hover around the mid 900s for up/down.
I just discovered messing around with the TCP Profiles, and I've spent an entire day on it, and I don't think I'm making any progress.
Anyways, when connected directly to the network that the APM VS answers on, I'm getting speedtest results of 20/10. That's right, 20 down, 10 up.
The F5 is a new install, and no one is even on it yet. Nothing else running on the F5 (i2600 hardware) but APM. Nothing else. We have a simple access profile, the F5 hands out an IP, and gives the SSL Clients access.
Where is the issue here? There's no overhead. There's no latency. I understand taking a little performance hit while encrypting the packets, but COME ON.
I even upgraded to 13.1 so I could try the new TCP Profiles, like Progressive, etc.
This is appalling. I can't understand why APM works like this.
I've found this problem following a couple of our other APMs as well. So this isn't quite related to just this site.
