protocol profiler enable
Enable the adaptive optimization feature with the protocol profiler enable command. Using adaptive optimization, the SteelHead monitors its efficiency at improving network performance across all traffic. Where little benefit is gained, SteelHead bypasses that traffic, which frees the SteelHead’s resources to increase acceleration where optimization is providing benefit. There are three types of bypass:
• auto-bypass- based on hostname, where SteelHead identifies a pattern of poor performance for connections to the hostname for a minimum of 3 connections.
• ip-bypass- based on server IP address, where SteelHead identifies consistently poor optimization for connections going to this address. SteelHead only bypasses traffic after evaluating a minimum of 10 connections and identifies that many of the connections are not benefiting from optimization. This is similar to the use of in-path bypass rules, except the feature operates without user interaction.
• hostname bypass- where SteelHead bypasses traffic for user-specified hostnames.
When a hostname or IP is automatically bypassed, it is for a limited time. Default durations are two minutes for hostname bypass and ten minutes for IP address bypass.
Syntax
[no] protocol profiler enable
Parameters
None
Usage
Enables the hostname profiling feature. When enabled, it is collecting information such as hostname and server IP, evaluating performance, assigning a performance rating and auto-bypassing poor performing TLS connections temporarily.
