TCP-mobile-optimization profile

I am inquiring on what metrics I should use to quantify the benefit of using the tcp-mobile-profile over the base tcp profiles. I would think it would be more data but less packets sent as well as so...

Yes, there is someone who has shared some thoughts about this topic: https://devcentral.f5.com/articles/stop-using-the-base-tcp-profile

 

If you want to measure the improvment, I'd suggest capturing the same transaction (should be a quite large one) twice, one with base profile and one with mobile-optimized profile and run those captures through wireshark (or some other analyzer), which can do some statistics and throughput calculations.

 

Furthermore, TMOS 12.1 contains an improvement to the AVR module that allows you to do analytics on TCP. I haven't tried that out myself yet, though...
