Abstract:
Systems and methods of propagating maximum segment size and path maximum transmission unit of network paths between an intermediary device of a cluster with a plurality of destinations are described. A first core of a node including multiple cores and intermediary to a client and a plurality of servers may receive a response to a packet transmitted to a destination indicating that the packet has a size greater than a MTU of a network path between the node and a destination. The first core identifies the MTU of the network path and determines that the identified MTU is different than an MTU used by the first core. The first core replaces the MTU stored in an entry corresponding to the destination in a PMTU table maintained with the identified MTU. The first core transmits, to other cores of the node, the identified MTU to update each core's PMTU table.

Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed towards a system and method for providing a SPDY to HTTP gateway via a device intermediary to a plurality of clients and a server. An NPN handshake by the intermediary device may establish SPDY support. The intermediary device may receive and process one or more control frames via SPDY session with the client. The intermediary device may generate and transmit HTTP communication to server corresponding to SPDY control frames. The intermediary device may receive and process one or more HTTP responses from server. The intermediary device may generate and transmit SPDY communication via SPDY session to client corresponding to HTTP response.
Abstract:
The virtual Server (vServer) of an intermediary device deployed between a plurality of clients and services supports parameters for setting maximum segment size (MSS) on a per vServer/service basis and for automatically learning the MSS among the back-end services. In case of vServer/service setting, all vServers will use the MSS value set through the parameter for the MSS value set in TCP SYN+ACK to clients. In the case of learning mode, the backend service MSS will be learnt through monitor probing. The vServer will monitor and learn the MSS that is being frequently used by the services. When the learning is active, the intermediary device may keep statistics of the MSS of backend services picked up during load balancing decisions and once an interval timer expires, the MSS value may be picked by a majority and set on the vServer. If there is no majority, then the highest MSS is picked up to be set on the vServer.
