GIT performance behind F5 LTM is slower than the actual Git server

Hello there,

 

We have a requirement to bring our one Git server behind F5 lb. Downloading files from direct server is two times faster than downloading same stuff through VIP.

 

Quick setup : VIP 443, pool actual server 443,SSL client profile valid cert, SSL Server profile insecure connection.

 

Tried tcp lan and wan optimized. No luck.

 

From GitHub recommend post, it talks about enabling Proxy Protocol.ref link below.

 

Can someone please help me out how this performance can be improved, anybody brought git behind lb so please share its config setting at lb end.

 

Using git clone command to download files.

 

Thanks, Yaseen

  • The link you posted is related to the client IP being seen by the server and talks about using PROXY or X-Forwarded-For. Do you have SNAT configured on your virtual server?

     

    You may want to do a tcpdump to see what is actually happening here.
