Mitigate WAN latency with various advanced protocol acceleration techniques, which include
- TCP Acceleration. Optimize TCP performance across the WAN with:
- Window Scaling – We use the TCP Window Scale option to deliver window sizes as large as 1GB and overcome the throughput limitation imposed by the standard 64 KB TCP window size.
- Selective Acknowledgement - This mechanism for handling multiple packet loss in a WAN environment gives a complete picture of which segments are queued at the receiver and which have not yet arrived, so senders only retransmit the missing data segments
- Round-Trip Measurement - Our proprietary round trip measurement scheme enables more efficient RTT calculation for more accurate RTO (retransmission timeout) measurements, and improved throughput.
- HighSpeed TCP- This modification to TCP congestion control alters how the window is opened on each round trip and closed on congestion events as a function of the absolute size of the window for better performance in high-bandwidth, high-latency environments.
- CIFS Acceleration. We optimize performance of the often slow performing Microsoft CIFS protocol using the following techniques:
- CIFS Read-ahead - When a user is working with a file, Silver Peak appliances generate read ahead requests within the file in order to pipeline operations to the server, thus eliminating the round-trip delay associated with waiting for acknowledgement. This minimizes the latency associated with read operations.
- CIFS Write-behind – Silver Peak devices pipeline write operations on behalf of a client, thus eliminating round-trip delays associated with waiting for acknowledgements. This minimizes the amount of round trips required to perform write operations, improving performance without risking data integrity.
- CIFS Meta Data Optimizations – Standard Microsoft clients make many unnecessarily independent and duplicative requests for file and directory meta-data. Performance is enhanced by locally consolidating and responding to these requests.

For Denali Alaskan Federal Credit Union (Denali) to expand its online banking services, enhancing its business continuity plan was a given. However, Denali’s wide area network (WAN) was insufficient for moving large amounts of data between the company’s main site in Anchorage and DR facility in Fairbanks. It was taking over eleven hours to replicate more than fifty gigabytes (GB) of data over the WAN — far too long for Denali’s IT team. Adding a new online banking system with up to ten times the data of the existing system would be impossible.
