ASA geeks

[XOR != OR]

I have an asa 5505 on a cable connection. When I browse through the connection, I get slow downs and stuttering. The browser itself seems to have problems with the connection when it's http stream is passing through the 5505. However, when I tunnel my http traffic over ssh to a remote proxy ( my home server, through the same asa and cable connection ), I get significantly faster speeds and the browser is better behaved.

I don't have much working experience with the asa device, although I know the basics. This seems to me like the asa is filtering http specifically, possibly mangling it for whatever reason. However, ssh traffic is being left alone. Anybody run into this before?

Really sorry.. this probably doesn't help, but I run a PIX501 at home and haven't run into any problems with stuttering traffic. My config is pretty basic. I wiped the box, setup NAT and poked the few ports I need. Are you using any of the advanced filtering? Maybe a post of your config would help a bit.

Post the config.

Assuming a somewhat default config, try these for troubleshooting. Mind you, they remove some of the filtering protection.

At the command, do one of these - not both:

no service-policy global_policy global

.....or.....

policy-map global_policy
class inspection_default
no inspect http
