[AusNOG] Compression Appliances

[Robert Hudson]

To give some real-world figures to back this up - I've got my latest
monthly report from my Steelheads in my inbox.

Over the month of October, the sites I'm directly responsible for saw total
reductions of 37%, 51%, 67%, 73%, 57%, 72%, 60% and 29%.  The last one is
at a site that runs an Internet VPN back to the company network, and all
their Internet traffic passes through that Steelhead as well, meaning a lot
of traffic simply isn't eligible for acceleration.

These are pretty standard "corporate" offices, ranging in size from 15
people (the first and last ones) to around 200 people.
