Could a squid caching server accomplish the same sort of bandwidth savings,
maybe more due to the fact it is caching ALL the content not just Akamai?

The 1100 will do ospf fine but load them up with bgp 2 or more times and
they suffer. We were going to use them and we changed plans to use a
supermicro server with a 4 or 6 port NIC. The 1100 seems to be a good

We see it all of the time on the AP's. 6000 and 6600 units. I've only got

I did upgrade one to firmware 5.0.5 yesterday, we'll see if that finally
fixes it.
Still love the cpq units though.

Yes, but the bandwidth savings are not worth the headaches (another
box or two to maintain, some sites don't like to be cached, customer
support calls, web sites blocking a certain IP address because ALL the
traffic from your network is coming from the cache server IP, etc.).

Grin. Thanks for passing it along Patrick. We've had the problem since

I still have a gaggle of these units sitting on the shelf. They ONLY get

ATT: Net rules must allow 'paid prioritization'

Nobody has a free ride in this, though. Netflix/Hulu/whoever is paying TV and
