side connection forwarding using the Management Console.
The following figure illustrates a network deployment in which the packets from the

server to the client go through HP EFS WAN Accelerator-3. From HP EFS WAN
Accelerator-3 the packets are sent to HP EFS WAN Accelerator-2, through the virtual
path.
