9.5 CONNECTION REUSE (TCP OFFLOAD)
The AX Series Connection Reuse feature reduces the overhead associated with TCP connection setup
by establishing TCP connections with SharePoint web servers and then reusing those connections for
multiple client requests. This reduces the total number of TCP connections to each SharePoint WFE
server.
The advantage of reusing connections is to off-load the server TCP stack in order to provide faster
response times and to increase server scalability. If connection reuse is enabled, Source NAT must be
enabled. Refer to Source NAT for configuration information. Figure 13 below is a sample diagram of a
non-connection reuse configuration. Figure 32 depicts how connection reuse is deployed.
Note:
Connection reuse is not supported if NTLM authentication is configured on the SharePoint servers.
