SAPGUI Traffic

Hi Shehryar, thanks for the question. BIG-IP plays a role in load balancing, accelerating and optimizing SAP-GUI traffic but can not support logon load balancing today. It has not been a feature we've heard a lot of interest about in recent years.

 

 

Where we have seen benefits for SAP GUI and BIG-IP have been the termination of the TCP connection in order to control and optimize long distance connections. In other words, BIG-IP can better handle TCP optimization than terminating the connections directly on the server.

 

 

How prevalent is your use of logon load balancing, how do you use it and how important a feature would this be to your organization?

 

 

Thanks!
