FOSS WAN Acceleration Software

Mon Sep 21 00:20:55 UTC 2009

While not FOSS, supposedly Cisco routers with reasonably current IOS  
releases have RBSCP support which hints at acting in this capacity.   
I've wanted to test it since the majority of our networks are over  
satellite, but most of the modems we use have WAN acceleration built  
in and thus the need to try RBSCP has been low.

If you try it and it works I'd be interested to hear your results.

Ryan Wilkins
