Back in the day it was giving us 30%+ bandwidth savings, but HTTP was most of our traffic. These days it is a much lower percentage with SSL, VPN's & P2P taking up a big share. The additional support load was a pain too with the odd website just not liking the cache and having to be bypassed.</div><div><br></div>With the transit being so much cheaper then it once was I can't see the need anymore. Happy to be corrected and might even put one back in if things have changed?<div><br></div><div>Mikrotik can easily redirect traffic to a proxy & even proxy it itself or use WCCP.<br><div><div><br><div>
