A parallel SteelHead deployment between datacenters is being discussed by a customer and an Integrator.

The latency between the Neighbor SteelHeads will mean that Connection Forwarding will not come up.

All asymmetrically routed traffic will suffer from increased latency from the nearer branches.

The Nagle algorithm timer can be adjusted so as to mitigate the symptoms from the closer branches.

There will be little or no impact as it only affects the initial connection.

Suboptimal performance only from HTTP traffic due to increased connection times.
