Overall I've found Riverbed units to work quite well, but I have also seen some pretty strange issues with them in the past too. One of the weird hiccups was with CIFS traffic, it would truncate files being saved to a remote file server, and also cause some strange file locking issues at the same time. In other cases, some http traffic would get chewed up and not render properly on destination machines (this was quite rare though).<br>
<br>In other installations I've seen Riverbed units working particularly well for high latency services (satellite connections), where the WAN acceleration really came into its own.<br><br>The CIFS issue was only a real problem on a Windows 7 user SOE, for some reason XP was always fine.<br>
