-;: The Web Cache Communication
Protocol (WCCP), developed by Cisco Systems, specifies interactions between one or more routers (or Layer 3 switches) and one or more web-caches. The purpose of the interaction is to establish and maintain the transparent redirection of selected types of traffic flowing through a group of routers. The selected traffic is redirected to a group of web-caches with the aim of optimizing resource usage and lowering response times. %%% -- [Cisco Systems|http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk122/tk717/tech_protocol_family_home.html]

In English, WCCP is a way for a cisco router to check that a web proxy is up and where it is so that it can transparently redirect web traffic at it. This way you can force all your users to use the proxy server without touching any client's settings, like you have to with Microsoft IAS, SBS 2000, etc.
This is the idea behind transparent proxying that your [ISP] uses to confuse your browser. ;)
