4. Globally enable FastView.
5. Set the HTTP virtual service to used in the defined virtual server.
6. Enable DAM or configure proxy IP addresses and enable proxy on the client port.
Content-Intelligent Compression
HTTP compression is built into Web servers and Web clients to make better use of available
bandwidth, and provide faster perceivable transmission speeds between both, as less data is
actually transferred. HTTP data is compressed before it is sent from the server as follows:
•
Compliant browsers announce what methods are supported to the server before requesting each
object. Commonly supported methods are the gzip and Deflate compression algorithms.
•
Browsers that do not support compliant compression method download uncompressed data.
Alteon compression can ensure optimal application delivery and bandwidth savings through
compression of Web pages such as HTML and JavaScript in real-time before transmission on the
network. This is important especially for small remote offices and home office users where
bandwidth may be limited. This dynamic HTML compression accelerates traffic by reducing the
payload using an open compression standard (gzip and Deflate), providing a powerful performance
boost. The support of the industry-standard gzip algorithm (as well the Deflate algorithm) ensures
compatibility with virtually all popular Web browsers without requiring any special software
installation on the end-user computer.
Alteon HTTP compression includes options to control compression behavior. These include the ability
to define whether objects should be compressed for browser, content-type or URL specific behavior,
as well as a set of predefined exceptions of the default compression behavior based on known
browser limitations.
Compression configuration includes an compression policy and two types of compression rule lists
(URL exceptions and browser exceptions) that are optionally associated to the policy. Compression
policies are, in turn, associated with an HTTP virtual service.

Configuring the Compression Virtual Service
For Alteon to perform compression, you must define an HTTP virtual service and associate a
compression policy to it. As with other Alteon capabilities, the virtual service is assigned to an
application, in this case HTTP or HTTPS. HTTP is the only supported application type and is the only
protocol that supports compression inherently.
