Citrix
®
NetScaler
®
appliance's local clock with the other
servers on the network. If you enable path maximum
transmission unit (PMTU) discovery, the NetScaler can use it to
determine the maximum transmission unit of any Internet
channel. For more efficient data transfer, you can configure
TCP window scaling and selective acknowledgment. You can
clear any basic or extended configuration on your NetScaler.
You can view statistics associated with HTTP request and
response sizes. For applying a specific HTTP and TCP settings
to vservers and services, you can configure HTTP and TCP
profiles.
