Traffic Squeezer - Email Application based Optimization and Acceleration
Yet another frequently used applications in any business operations is Email Clients. Email protocol is simple application protocol, but sometimes quite chatty particularly in WAN Scenarios. Also this depends when the Email Server is in remote Head-quarters, and the Clients are in Branch offices connected via WAN (dedicated WAN).
Hence beyond just compression Email Application based Optimization should treat this traffic and try to optimize the payloads more beyond just the compression. Usually this is done first and the passed further to the compression engine. The application dictionary based substitution can reduce further the payload sizes and hence enhance the WAN performance.
