Tunnel Compatibility Mode

Tunnel Compatibility Mode enables two nodes with mismatched software versions to keep the tunnel up and offer some basic services.

Because some optimizations are disabled as a result, the tunnel Status flags this as reduced functionality.

Preserved Functionalities	Disabled Optimizations
n Tunnel encapsulation (including IPsec, if applicable) n QoS shaping and marking n Forward Error Correction [FEC] n Packet Order Correction [POC] n packet coalescing n statistics gathering n network path behavior	n Network Memory n Payload Compression n TCP Acceleration n CIFS Acceleration n SSL Acceleration n SRDF Acceleration

Check the Release Notes to verify software version compatibility.
