WCCP performance on ASA platform

[marijaslov]

Hello,

Is there any limit in WCCP performance on ASA? We implemented wccp redirection on ASA with about 200 users and it workd fine. When we redirected another 400 users, there were problems with opening http pages. Users complained about very slow internet. How can we check if there are any wccp drops/loses on ASA?

Hello,

There are no hard limits on the amount of WCCP traffic you can redirect. You'll just be limited by the amount of CPU and memory utilization on the box, but this will depend on a lot of other factors (ASA model, enabled features, traffic profile, etc.). You can monitor output such as 'show cpu', 'show memory', 'show interface', etc. to see how the increase in WCCP traffic affects the ASA's resources.

Hope that helps.
