Reducing satellite bandwidth costs by 30% is significant, as is the far better feel of the satellite link customers get from having acceleration there. The sheer number of flows we face at our high end, rather than the bw, is our challenge for acceleration - all that flow state to track, and # of flows can hit box limits long before bandwidth does. Have started using their virtual devices on Xen at the low end - free trial.<br><div><br><span></span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);
