HTTP AO

[rm2017]

Is there any data that shows the benefit of the HTTP AO in WAAS 4.1 compared to HTTP just getting optimized with TFO/LZ/DRE?

Michael,

From the CLI of the individual WAEs you can see HTTP AO statistics using the CLI command:

show statistics accelerator http

You can also look at the HTTP Acceleration Report in the Central Manager under Monitoring.

Zach -

Has any of Cisco's testing revealed that HTTP AO will provide x % improvement over normal TFO/LZ/DRE? Thanks.

Michael,

The benefit you can expect to see from the HTTP AO is dependent on the specific application (HTTP version, connection persistence, number of objects, RTT latency, etc.). The generic guidance I usually give is to expect a 2x improvement specifically from the HTTP AO (above and beyond TFO+DRE+LZ). That being said, lab validation and application specific testing is your best bet for accurate numbers.
