F5 BIG-IP LTM Specialist: Maintain and Troubleshoot — Question 17

Users are experiencing low throughput when downloading large files over a high-speed WAN connection. Extensive packet loss was found to be an issue but
CANNOT be eliminated.
Which two TCP profile settings should be modified to compensate for the packet loss in the network? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. slow start
• B. proxy options
• C. proxy buffer low
• D. proxy buffer high
• E. Nagle's algorithm

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

Modifying 'proxy buffer low' and 'proxy buffer high' can help manage packet loss by adjusting how data is buffered during transmission, allowing for more efficient handling of lost packets. The other options, such as 'slow start' and 'Nagle's algorithm', do not directly address the buffering needed to compensate for packet loss in this scenario.
