Overview of the HTTP profile

Information

A virtual server with an associated HTTP profile processes connections using the BIG-IP system's full proxy architecture for the purpose of making requests on behalf of clients. In this mode, the BIG-IP system processes the three-way TCP handshake and initial data packet on the client-side connection before initiating the TCP handshake on the server-side connection; the client's data packet triggers the BIG-IP system to initiate the server-side connection.

NOTE: Nessus has provided the target output to assist in reviewing the benchmark to ensure target compliance.
