protocol notes enable

Lotus Notes is a client-server collaborative application that provides mail, instant messaging, calendar, resource, and file sharing. RiOS provides latency and bandwidth optimization for Lotus Notes v6.0 and later traffic across the WAN, accelerating email attachment transfers and server-to-server or client-to-server replications.

RiOS saves bandwidth by automatically disabling socket compression (which makes SDR more effective), and by decompressing Huffman-compressed attachments and LZ-compressed attachments when they are sent or received and recompressing them on the other side. This allows SDR to recognize attachments which have previously been sent in other ways, that is; over CIFS, HTTP, or other protocols, and also allows SDR to optimize the sending and receiving of attachments that are slightly changed from previous sends and receives.

To use this feature both the client-side and server-side SteelHeads must be running RiOS 5.5.x or later.

Enabling Lotus Notes provides latency optimization regardless of the compression type (Huffman, LZ, or none). RiOS can optimize Lotus Notes with port encryption on or off. To optimize Lotus Notes with port encryption and decryption, both the client-side and server-side SteelHeads must be running RiOS v6.0.x or later. The client-side and server-side SteelHeads become a trusted part of the Lotus client-server security model to retrieve the session ID keys.

When optimizing Lotus Notes traffic with encryption on, you can optionally use the SteelHead inner channel trust to ensure all Notes traffic sent between the client-side and the server-side SteelHeads are secure.
