Abstract
Described herein are systems and methods for use with a load balancer or traffic director, and administration thereof, wherein the traffic director is provided as a software-based load balancer that can be used to deliver a fast, reliable, scalable, and secure platform for load-balancing Internet and other traffic to back-end origin servers, such as web servers, application servers, or other resource servers. In accordance with an embodiment, the traffic director can be configured to compress data stored in its cache, and to respond to requests from clients by serving content from origin servers either as compressed data, or by dynamically decompressing the data before serving it, should a particular client prefer to receive a non-compressed variant of the data. In accordance with an embodiment, the traffic director can be configured to make use of hardware-assisted compression primitives, to further improve the performance of its data compression and decompression.
