7.1.2 Single-Sided Optimizations:

GZIP:
Industry standard compression is applied to both static and dynamic HTML and XML content including
attachments.
Image Optimization Transformation:
This reduces image size, while optimizing image quality.
Static Caching:
This returns un-expired static objects and pages directly from cache.

7.1.3 Two-sided Optimizations

TurboStreaming:
Optimization techniques are utilized to overcome inherent TCP inefficiencies. This removes congestion
from WAN links and significantly improves response time for downloading large attachments, even those
considered to be non-compressible.
Content Aware Compression
Dynamic Cache Differencing:
The FX Series ADC appliance and the Remote appliance maintain a copy of browser cache and
send only the difference back to the browser when content is changed.
Persistent Connection:
The FX Series maintains a persistent TCP connection with clients with a configurable timeout
based on application policy.
Content Aware Caching:
The FX Series accelerates client accesses by eliminating round-trips to servers to validate data.
This is intelligently performed to avoid unnecessary network consumption and reduces server
transaction processing.

7.1.4 Authorization Realms

Authorization realms provide a means for grouping users so that different policy application attributes can
be assigned. For example, perhaps you want a set of users to have unrestricted Internet access and
others you wish to be routed to another appliance that performs filtering, then you can define
authorization realms to delineate these user groups by assigning different application policies based on
authorization realm.
NOTE: Examples for using Authorization Realms is shown in Section 7.2.2
Realm Name:
This specifies the logical name to assign to this realm. This name is used to reference the definition in the
application policies and client policies.
