F5 packet buffer

Michaelyang

Hello,

Is there any setting that allows the proxy to do packet buffer
Wait for the proxy to accumulate a certain amount of packets before sending them to the destination
Because it is a cross-sea connection, it will take more time if small packets keep passing back and forth.

F5 itself has the ability to do packet cutting/combining, not through the network equipment (router/switch) to do?

Any help is appreciate.

Hi, @Michaelyang 

Sounds like you're describing Nagle's algorithm.

If you wish to see documentation about it, maybe start with K50411377, but if you google "nagle f5" you'll get plenty of hits.

Note that it works only with TCP. Not sure it applies to your case.
