When a client with low MSS is the first to establish a OneConnect flow pair and proxy MSS is enabled, the serverside will share the same low MSS. Successive connections from full-MSS clients may utilize this server-side flow, resulting in suboptimal throughput.
Decreased throughput, possible congestion due to small segments.
Configure a virtual server with both OneConnect and proxy MSS. Note: Proxy MSS is enabled by default beginning with v12.1.0.
In some instances, it may be sufficient to disable proxy MSS. This too has the potential to increase segment count and decrease throughput.
This release provides improved interaction between OneConnect and proxy MSS. By default, proxy MSS is disabled with OneConnect. This is controlled by the db variable TM.Tcp.OC.ProxyMSS
