generally you will want "option splice-response" so that only the response uses tcp-splicing. Using "splice-auto" lets haproxy decide when it is wise to use splicing depending on the data rate. However it is a bit conservative so it does not enable it too fast. In your case, there is something else. I think that you simply did not build with USE_LINUX_SPLICE=1, and the option has not been enabled. Probably that it would be better if such optional features were still enabled in the config parser so that it can complain with a more appropriate error message. Regards Willy
