Hi Luis. I'd not heard of the longtail issue before (it's very interesting) and I've not used WA in anger for a long time but just from a general TMOS and LTM perspective and the little research I've managed to do today;
1) Despite your CDN, I'd imagine you'd want as large a cache as possible
2) Enabling compression is essential - I'd also suggest you think hard around it's settings - I'll post more around this later
3) I was going to say think carefully about large files but I guess your CDN covers you there?
4) Pick your congestion control algorithm carefully based on the typical client profile
5) You may want to reduce the default TCP connection timeouts
6) Perhaps consider QoS or a similar mechanism to ensure smaller flows are not swamped
7) I'd imagine implementing OneConnect would be very worthwhile
8) I'd also image implementing SPDY would be of benefit
Apologies if this is all a bit obvious and generic. Perhaps you could provide more detail on the type of traffic, application and client profiles?
