Question 4
After deployment of Steelhead appliances, a certain backup application shows poor bandwidth reduction. After disabling the backup application's native compression algorithm, the bandwidth reduction statistics on the Steelhead appliances suddenly improve significantly. Which of the following are likely causes for the increased bandwidth reduction?
The native compression algorithm of the backup application could not be compressed further
The application-level protocol used by the backup application is not recognized by the Steelhead appliances
The Steelhead appliances were not able to effectively perform TCP optimizations
There should be no difference between compressed and uncompressed traffic
Correct answer: A
