Riverbed Certified Solutions Associate (RCSA) — Question 10

Your Steelhead appliance deployment includes users accessing the Internet from branch offices with the traffic being back-hauled to the data center before going out to the Internet. However, HTTP latency optimization does not appear to be very effective, and in certain cases, is slower than without optimization. What settings might help with this Internet-bound traffic?

Answer options

• A. Riverbed recommends you turn off URL Learning and Parse-and-Prefetch and only enable OPT
• B. Riverbed recommends you enable URL Learning and Parse-and-Prefetch and turn off OPT
• C. Riverbed recommends you turn off URL Learning and only enable Parse-and-Prefetch and OPT
• D. Riverbed recommends you turn off URL Learning, Parse-and-Prefetch, and OPT
• E. Riverbed recommends you enable URL Learning, Parse-and-Prefetch, and OPT

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct option, A, is recommended because turning off URL Learning and Parse-and-Prefetch while enabling only OPT can streamline the optimization process for Internet-bound traffic. The other options suggest configurations that could introduce additional latency or are not aligned with best practices for optimizing HTTP traffic through Steelhead appliances.
