Citrix ADC on Azure - Pls Update Guidance

mshuster-ctx opened this issue · 0 comments

Hi, this statement can now be revised per Hari Subramanian, newer ADC firmwares with the right Azure config remove the 500Mbps cap per NIC.

Citrix ADC is limited to 500 Mbps per Azure NIC. Multiple NICs are recommended to isolate the SNIP, NSIP, and VIP traffic to maximize the throughput available for Citrix ADC Gateway or other services.

This is the rationale:
The Citrix ADC VPX instances on Azure with accelerated networking enabled provides better performance and removed the 500Mb cap on a single NIC. Azure accelerated networking is supported on Citrix ADC VPX instances from release 13.0-76.x onwards. To enable accelerated networking on ADC VPX, Citrix recommends using an Azure instance type that supports accelerated networking.
