# Configure Request and Response Proxy Buffers

Azure Application Gateway Standard v2 SKU supports buffering Requests (from clients) or Responses (from the backend servers). Based on the processing capabilities of the clients that interact with your Application Gateway, you can use these buffers to configure the speed of packet delivery.

## Response Buffer

-
Application Gateway's Response buffer can collect all or parts of the response packets sent by the backend server, before delivering them to the clients. By default, the Response buffering is enabled on Application Gateway which is useful to accommodate slow clients. This setting allows you to conserve the backend TCP connections as they can be closed once Application Gateway receives complete response and work according to the client's processing speed. This way, your Application Gateway will continue to deliver the response as per client’s pace.

## Request Buffer

In a similar way, Application Gateway's Request buffer can temporarily store the entire or parts of the request body, and then forward a larger upload request at once to the backend server. By default, Request buffering setting is enabled on Application Gateway and is useful to offload the processing function of re-assembling the smaller packets of data on the backend server.

You can keep either the Request or Response buffer, enabled or disable, based on your requirements and/or the observed performance of the client systems that communicate with your Application Gateway.

## Limitations

101
- API version 2020-01-01 or later should be used to configure buffers.
88
-
- Currently, these changes are not supported through Portal and PowerShell.
89
-
- Request buffering cannot be disabled if you are running the WAF SKU of Application Gateway. The WAF requires the full request to buffer as part of processing, therefore, even if you disable request buffering within Application Gateway the WAF will still buffer the request. Response buffering is not impacted by the WAF.
