what type of traffic are you trying to accelerate ? Most WAN Optimizers cache the data stream and remove most of the windowing/handshaking to reduce the latency ... so your data streams to the destination without two way delays of 'got that segment, what's the next segment , got that next segment, what's next now' type of protocols

I'm looking for an appliance that can do this between my HQ site and second largest site. Anyone have any experience/recommendations. The two I am familiar with are Citrix's WANOptimizer and Packeteer (now Blue Coat).
