IWSVA supports Web Cache Communication Protocol (WCCP) version 2, a protocol defined
by Cisco Systems. See your Cisco product documentation for more information on the
protocol.
The following are the benefits gained when IWSVA supports WCCP:
-
Transparency of deployment without endpoint configuration
-
High availability and load balancing between multiple IWSVA systems
-
Automated load balancing reconfiguration when adding or removing IWSVA appliances
-
Support for the Cisco router, switch, and firewall implementations of the protocol
The WCCP implementation for IWSVA is compatible with Cisco routers, switches, PIX
firewalls, and ASA security devices.
