Subject: RE: [NTISP] Caching devices good? bad? Help
We have been using squid and set our cisco routers to do transparent =
caching
for some time now.. Works like a charm.
Cidera looks very good, infact we are expecting their technician to =
install
the dish and adapter. Apart from the large customer base, its also got a
45Mbps downlink to each dish, so its pretty fast too.

There's something about caches that seem faster even if only one person =
is
using it and the data your requesting is not in the cache -- over dialup
anyway (but it might be my imagination:) I think it has something to do
with tcp chat latency being absorbed by the cache buffering data =

Have Fun!
