nagle / delayed ack in default tcp wan optimized profile

the issue with nagle and delayed acks interaction is well known and documented, F5 themselves reference to it in an article:

 

https://devcentral.f5.com/Tutorials/TechTips/tabid/63/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/282/Investigating-the-LTM-TCP-Profile-Nagles-Algorithm.aspx

 

 

so why has the default tcp-wan-optimized profile both nagle and delayed acks enabled? does anyone use this default profile, does it work for you or not?

    Ha, good question - I have asked myself the same thing. Glad you brought it up. I don't use that profile though, so can't give you any feedback on its effect.
