So a new interesting feature came up in my workspace (Network performance monitor) which allows us to monitor network performance between different endpoints. You can read more about it here –> https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/log-analytics-network-performance-monitor/#installing-and-configuring-agents-for-the-solution But in case we can install the OMS agent on two nodes and the OMs agent will then be used to monitor and

So a new feature that was introduced in 11.1 which I some reason overlooked was the ability to configure seperate TCP profiles using AppQoE actions, which in its essence allows us to configure different AppQoE policies using different TCP profiles based upon which endpoint is connecting using expressions.

TCP Fast Open (TFO) is a TCP mechanism that enables speedy data exchange between a client and a server during TCP’s initial handshake. By using the TFO mechanism, you can reduce an application’s network latency by the time required for one full round trip, which significantly reduces the delay experienced in short TCP transfers. So

So I decided to write this blogpost to actually show the effects of TCP optimization on Citrix. I’ve been stating that you should always change the TCP profile for NetScaler Gateway because the default is BAD. So therefore I decided to do a bit research to see what kind of effect will a simple TCP
