transparent TCP Proxy

[ctivig]

Has anyone used a transparent TCP Proxy solution as a performance enhancement tool (via caching or buffering)?

Does Cisco has anything? WAAS looks the closest but it more like a point to point solution (wan acceleration). I am looking after something like a PROXY (device in the middle).

Thanks

Hello Tivig,

look for WCCPv2 it allows one or more routers to redirect to a group of web caches

It is supported also on multilayer switches and it is not limited to WEB traffic

Hope to help
