Opened: May 25, 2018
Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

When APM's RD Gateway virtual server has Nagle's Algorithm enabled in the client TCP profile, it might severely degrade responsiveness of RDP client, to the point when it becomes unusable.

Impact

RDP client becomes unresponsive.

Conditions

-- APM is used as RD Gateway. -- Nagle's Algorithm is enabled in client TCP profile.

Workaround

Disable Nagle's Algorithm in the client TCP profile.

Fix Information

The system now automatically disables Nagle's Algorithm for RD Gateway connections.
