[All 301b Questions]

-- Exhibit --

Refer to the exhibit.

An LTM device is used to load balance web content over a secure channel.

The developers of the web content have done a trace using an HTTP profiler application. They believe that allowing the LTM device to compress traffic to the client will improve performance. The client can utilize GZIP or deflate compression algorithms.

An LTM Specialist must implement the compression.

The LTM Specialist has completed the following actions:

1. Create the relevant profile.

2. Apply the relevant profile to the virtual server (VS).

After applying the relevant profile, the LTM device is failing to compress the traffic. Instead, the traffic is being served with an error.

What is the problem?

AThe incorrect compression algorithm is applied to the compression profile.

BThe LTM device CANNOT SSL offload the traffic in order to read and compress it.

CThe Protocol Profile (Client) option of 'Allow Compression' needs to be enabled.

DThe Protocol Profile (Server) option of 'Allow Compression' needs to be enabled.

The LTM device is like a personal trainer - it can't help you get shredded if you're still wearing your winter coat. It needs to strip that traffic down to its bare essentials first.

I think you're right. The LTM device needs to be able to compress the traffic for better performance.

The incorrect compression algorithm is applied to the compression profile? That's like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole - it just ain't gonna work!

Haha, the LTM device is like a bouncer at a club - it can't let the compression algorithms in if the traffic is still in its Sunday best (encrypted).

I think the problem is that the Protocol Profile (Server) option of 'Allow Compression' needs to be enabled. The LTM device needs to know to enable compression on the server-side traffic.

The issue seems to be that the LTM device cannot SSL offload the traffic to read and compress it. The compression algorithms won't work if the traffic is still encrypted.
