Application Acceleration Examples
FlashForward
Embedded objects referenced in HTML container pages
are served with Expires: which sets expiry in the future.
On 2
nd
visit, Browser will not send GET for objects in
cache if the current date & time is not greater than the
object expiry date.
This reduces the total number of HTTP requests for
subsequent visits to the same page.
Benefits:
Decreased page download time
Decreased network congestion
Decreased number of requests to origin server

HTML pages today are largely dynamically generated
making it not cacheable
Browser must download entire page each visit.
Delta works by calculating and sending only the
difference between two visits to an dynamic
HTML page
Benefits:
Reduced bandwidth usage
Reduced page download times
Works in combination with other optimizations

Technology
Latency Mitigation
Reduced roundtrips from chatty
application protocols
Faster connection setup
Offload the WAN by preventing requests
from going to the WAN
Improve application response time on
congested links by reducing the amount
of data sent across the WAN
Improve network throughput by reducing
TCP-related errors
Prioritize selected jitter-sensitive traffic
(e.g. VoIP, Video) over the packet
network

Data Redundancy Elimination (DRE)
Reduce overall WAN consumption based on redundancy
Maintain active database of previously sent and received traffic
Send database index on behalf of traffic that has been seen before
Realize 5x 50x compression, minimize WAN bandwidth consumption
Compress all outbound traffic with LZ compression
Additional 2x compression beyond data suppression
Very good compression for non-redundant data
