| Configuring the WSM using Device Manager |
|
Much of the information downloaded from the Internet is not unique, and clients often access a Web page many times for additional information or to explore other links. When duplicate information is requested, the Web site's pictures, buttons, frames, text, and so on are reloaded from page to page. Redundant requests can consume a large amount of your available bandwidth to the Internet.
Application redirection helps reduce the traffic congestion during peak loads. When WSM application redirection filters are properly configured, outbound client requests for Internet data are intercepted and redirected to a group of application or Web cache servers on your network. The servers duplicate and store inbound Internet data that has been requested by your clients. If the servers recognize a client's outbound request as one that can be filled with cached information, the servers supply the information rather than send the request across the Internet.
Note:
WAN Link load balancing and NAT Web Cache Redirection cannot be configured on the same WSM.
