Web Cache Communication Protocol (WCCP) is a web cache deployment protocol developed by Cisco. It has built-in load balancing, scaling, fault tolerance, and failsafe mechanisms. It’s a simple way to get even higher performance and high availability from your network, reducing transmission costs and download time.
It also makes CACHEBOX clusters extremely simple to install. Using WCCP, you can deploy one or more CACHEBOXs transparently without any other changes to your network. Once set up, the router will strip out all TCP port 80 traffic (HTTP) and send it via the CACHEBOX cluster.



















"Quite simply, the CACHEBOX is the ideal solution for ISPs operating where internet bandwidth is in short supply or very expensive."

"We installed our CACHEBOX two weeks ago and it’s alleviated half of that port 80 traffic! Even in that short space of time, the difference has been dramatic - it was an ‘Oh my god’ moment from day one."

"Since installing CACHEBOX we’ve seen tremendous benefits...We regularly get hit rates of 40% and with large object caching picking up the web videos, we’ve been adding a lot more subscribers to our network."
