500.book Page 109 Thursday, September 2, 1999 1:44 PM 6 Redirect TCP Packets Introduction Purpose Too many users (on a LAN) requesting the same information from the Internet can cause congestion on the WAN link. A single standalone Express 550F Routing Switch can redirect TCP packets from popular sites and make a local copy of them in one of up to four Web Server Caches. Users requesting the same information are then supplied with a copy from the local server cache.
