What is the primary role of a TCP profile on a BIG-IP system?

To encrypt TCP traffic between clients and servers.

To specify which TCP ports are allowed through the BIG-IP firewall.

To define how the BIG-IP manages TCP connections, including parameters like timeouts, buffering, and congestion control.

To assign IP addresses to virtual servers.

What is a potential effect of using an optimized TCP profile on latency?

It increases latency because larger buffers cause more queuing delay.

It can reduce latency by enabling features like selective acknowledgments and timestamps.

It eliminates latency entirely by using a direct connection.

It has no effect on latency; only throughput is affected.
