Consider me (somewhat) enlightened. Thanks Joe. Looks like a pretty versatile unit, it knows about a lot of stuff: Supported Protocols * HTTP progressive download video services: YouTube, Dailymotion, Veoh * HTTP software update services: Microsoft Windows Update, Adobe Acrobat update, antivirus and gaming updates * Web-based file sharing services: RapidShare, MegaUpload * Generic HTTP file downloads * Open P2P: BitTorrent, E-Donkey, Gnutella, Ares, FastTrack and Kazaa * Commercial P2P: Pando They claim the UltraBand 1000 can be configured with up to 36TB of storage - apparently getting a really good hit ratio on those large P2P objects requires just a tad more storage than your usual Akamai node that's only serving up mostly HTTP. ;) Any idea what size network pipe it can handle? We've seen a lot of different products that have to work in-band and their salescritters turn pale in the face and get very quiet if we ask them about handling 10GigE at line rate. ;)
