LAN - WAN Standards White Papers

Optimizing WAN Performance: Accelerating Market Growth

Overview Redesigning applications to make them less sensitive to wide area network (WAN) environments may be impractical, and improving underlying WAN characteristics is expensive. Learn about cost-effective bandwidth optimization techniques along with protocol optimization techniques and wide-area file services (WAFS) technologies. Used together or separately, these techniques can improve performance by making the WAN characteristics appear to be better than they actually are.
