Riverbed 830-01 Question Answer

Company X has many offshore oil rigs they want to bring optimization to. The only available connection is through a satellite that has frequent bursts of packet loss. There are very few users per rig and HTTPS-based SharePoint performance is so poor they often time out pulling down even a small file. CIFS often does not work at all. They are considering the Steelhead Mobile solution to solve this problem. You suggest they deploy a Steelhead in-path at the data center and:

Steelhead Mobile with FEC turned on to help with lossy links

Steelhead Mobile with HS-TCP configuration

Steelhead Mobile running MX-TCP to deal with the loss

Deploy Steelhead appliances with MX-TCP to deal with the loss

Deploy Steelhead appliances with HS-TCP, Window Scaling, fixed-target rules, and TCP New Reno to overcome the loss
