What do you call "Real World"? Cisco is not about to try to sell something with fraudulent demos. After all, they do stand behind their products and would have to answer to their customers. The documentation clearly points out the areas and methods where this technology will be useful, and it is aimed at the corporate environment, with wide area networks, not general web browsing or home users downloading ISOs of opensuse. It requires their products on both ends as is clearly shown in the referenced URLs. In its intended environment, I see no reason it could not achieve the results it claims and no reason to assume carefully crafted test scenarios. So much of the traffic across corporate lans/wans is composed of static files or seldom changing files or easily compressible files that any half way intelligent caching, buffering, compression imposed at the network level could easily achieve these results. The only misunderstanding here was on the part of the OP, in not realizing that this was intended for the corporate world, and not home use. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
