Bug ID 491032: Slow performance of single SSL connection to vCMP guest on Nitrox PX platforms.

Last Modified: Jul 12, 2023

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IP vCMP(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
11.4.1

Opened: Nov 15, 2014

Symptoms

Impact

Performance of a single SSL connection is about 50% slower than expected compared to the performance of the same platform running in non-vCMP mode.

Conditions

Run a single SSL connection such as https curl to a guest running on a Nitrox PX based platform.

This issue has no workaround at this time.
