If there are more than two possible paths, additional HP EFS WAN Accelerators must be installed on each path and configured as neighbors. Neighbors receive information in parallel (the delay introduced at connection set up is equal to the time it takes to get an acknowledgement from the furthest neighbor).
If one of the neighbor HP EFS WAN Accelerators reaches its optimization capacity limit, that HP EFS WAN Accelerator will not accept new connections, but it redirects packets to other neighbors for optimization.
One-to-One Failover Deployment
To ensure optimization in the event of a failure, a backup HP EFS WAN Accelerator can be added to each neighbor HP EFS WAN Accelerator in a

As long as one of the two failover HP EFS WAN Accelerators on each path is up, connections are intercepted. If the two HP EFS WAN Accelerators on the same path fail, connections stop being intercepted and optimized.
Configuring Connection Forwarding
The following section describes the basic steps for configuring connection forwarding.
