Configuration Mode Commands : SteelHead configuration commands : packet-mode enable
  
packet-mode enable
Enables packet-mode optimization.
Syntax
[no] packet-mode enable
Parameters
None
Usage
RiOS performs packet-by-packet SDR bandwidth optimization on TCP IPv4, TCP IPv6, UDP IPv4, and UDP IPv6 connections using fixed-target, packet-mode optimization in-path rules. This type of in-path rule optimizes bandwidth for applications over any transport protocol. Use the in-path rule fixed-target packet-mode-uni command to specify a packet-mode optimization in-path rule. Use the show flows command to view packet-mode flow information.
You must enable packet-mode optimization on both the client-side SteelHead and the server-side SteelHead. Enabling packet-mode optimization requires an optimization service restart.
The no command option disables packet-mode optimization.
For details on packet-mode optimization, see the SteelHead Deployment Guide and the SteelHead User Guide.
Example
amnesiac (config) # packet-mode enable
amnesiac (config) # service restart
