 !!!Web Cache Control Protocol 
  
-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.%%%

-!Proxy Servers that support WCCP  
+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
  
-Squid v2.3 and above supports WCCP v1%%%  
-Squid v2.5 now supports WCCP v1 and WCCP v2 [1 ]%%%  
+This is the idea behind transparent proxying that your [ISP ] uses to confuse your browser. ;)  
  
-The ones listed above are what I see is appropiate for WLUG%%%  
-For more proxy servers that support WCCP , go to http://www .cisco .com/warp/public/732/Tech/switching/wccp/protocol .shtml  
+Should your proxy server fail , the client's connection to the Internet won't be affected . That means you can also take a proxy server off line at any time . You can deploy multiple proxy servers for redundancy
  
-!Proxy Servers that don't support WCCP  
+Traffic is only redirected on port 80.  
  
-Microsoft Proxy or ISA%%%  
+WCCP v2 allows you to set up WCCP to redirect traffic ports other than 80, can do load distribution, supports MD5 Authentication between each router and each proxy server, and also lets the router bypass the proxy if the proxy rejects packets ("Web Cache Packet Return"). WCCP v2 also allows using the same proxy server ( or stack of proxy servers) on a site with more than one connection to the Internet.

-Without having to have a proxy server connected between the LAN and the Internet, like you have to with Microsoft ISA, SBS 2000, etc, you can force all your users to use the proxy server without having affect the client settings on all the clients
+* Squid v2.3 (supports WCCP v1)  
+* Squid v2 .5 (supports WCCP v1 and v2 [1])  
  
-Traffic is only redirected on port 80 . However , on WCCP v2, you can set up WCCP to redirect traffic on other ports
+These are of interest to the WLUG . Of course , [there are others|http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/732/Tech/switching/wccp/protocol.shtml]

-WCCP v2 also supports MD5 Authentication between each router and each proxy server
