You can do a tcpdump in the Steelhead and open it with ethereal. For us
it doesn't matter, but for my buddy it screws up ACLs in the routers.

We have seen the same thing with the Citrix WANscaler product. It turns
out that much of what goes over WAN connections can either be optimized
in terms of TCP windows and sessions, CIFS efficiencies, or, simply
cached at the target end. The carriers must know this, but prefer not
the say anything :-)



I think that WANScaler has one advantage over Riverbed- the traffic is
not encapsulated in a proprietary protocol so that network monitoring
tools, QOS, etc. can still see each individual session and packet.....

How did the Citrix WANScalers hold up?

FYI



Those of you that use NetApp filers and SnapMirror for replication may
have heard Riverbed's claim to optimize 80% of the traffic. We put in a
couple of eval units and their claim held up. Only about 20% of our
SnapMirror traffic actually traversed the WAN. Our first snap was about
1.5GB and we sent it over a T1 (512 CIR) in under an hour. That's pretty
impressive.
