WAN Optimization
WAN optimization employs a collection of techniques to speed overall throughput and performance for traffic traversing wide-area networks, including the public Internet.
WAN optimization overcomes the effects of latency and packet loss, while also implementing measures for dealing with congested networks.
The F5 WANJet® appliance performs WAN optimization through a state-of-the-art TCP/IP stack. It applies the latest RPC-compliant TCP/IP techniques as well as improvements and extensions developed by F5.
