Changing policy and accleration setting live

[Mike Campbell]

Does enabling new acceleration settings and/or modifying policy settings require downtime ? Do we need to disable any enabled features prior to activating any new features, like http metadata caching, dre hints, etc...

What happens to in flight data if this is done live ?

[Michael Korenbaum]

Mike,

Modifying the policy engine or adding accelerator features does not require downtime.  Only new TCP flows will be affected by the changes.  Existing flows have already been classified via the original policy engine configuration during the TCP 3-way handshake and are unaffected.
