CacheRaQ ISP Deployment
Installation Notes
• Configure the CacheRaQ for Transparent mode using
one network interface.
• Configure access concentrators (“DIAL UP”) to use
the CacheRaQ as their gateway.
• Configure the CacheRaQ to use the router as its
gateway.
• One CacheRaQ should be able to handle 1-2 Mbps of
WAN traffic. Contact Cobalt Networks, Inc. for more
detailed deployment guidelines.
Advantage
You can keep quick-to-access copies of remote
documents, saving bandwidth and speeding up page
access for users.
Disadvantage
For large POPs, one CacheRaQ may not be enough. (In
this case, Clustered CacheRaQs can be used.)
