F5 BIG-IP LTM Specialist: Maintain and Troubleshoot — Question 56
Internet clients connecting to a virtual server to download a file are experiencing about 150 ms of latency and no packet loss.
Which built-in client-side TCP profile provides the highest throughput?
Answer options
- A. tcp
- B. tcp-legacy
- C. tcp-lan-optimized
- D. tcp-wan-optimized
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The tcp-wan-optimized profile is specifically designed to enhance throughput over high-latency connections like those found in WAN scenarios. The other profiles, such as tcp and tcp-lan-optimized, do not optimize for the same conditions and therefore would not provide the same level of performance in this context.
