I've just read through the 20 or so email messages in the thread
regarding the use of proxy-cache traffic on http traffic.
I believe DIGEX should be congratulated on their forward exploration
of technology. Their creative solutions to problems like this are the
spirit that will sustain the Internet.
DWDM and huge fiber builds will get us part of the way to handling
internet growth, but we need to find ways to utilize upper-layer
tweaks to do more with less.
