The number of problems related the size of IP Packets seem to still increase year by year. Most of the time this leads to conditions where some applications won't work over the network. They increasingly create also more obscure problems where:
- It works sometimes but regular outages are observed for unknown reasons;
- There are severe performance issues with some specific applications/users;
- Network equipment and/or servers show high processor utilisation;
- Performance is (sometimes) spongy;
- FW's and IPS security provisions seem to cause problems for some
- applications.
Common causes for all these problems are being explained during this session. Technical Terms/Accronyms used during this session are: Segmentation, Multi-Pathing, MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit), Jumbo Frames, Encryption, Tunnels. Of course also ways to diagnose and circumvent packet size related problems will be provided. This includes a view on how this looks like using IPv6.
