Somewhat off-topic, and perhaps not the right forum anyway, but wccp is part of content networking, isn't it?
Does anyone have experience of integrating Juniper's WX/WXC products with WCCP ver 2. The reason I ask is that Juniper's documentation says that WCCPv2 is supported, but doesn't seem to give any sense that it really is. Version 2 should support a fault-tolerant configuration where multiple routers operate WCCP with a cluster of caches. According to Cisco IOS documentation, this discovery can be by either of two methods:
1. Static configuration of the cache IP addresses (i.e. unicast), or
2. Multicast advertisement
However, the WX documentation doesn't mention anything about supporting the second (multicast) WCCP discovery method, and doesn't make any explicit reference, either, to supporting multiple statements like
wccp set router-ip-address 10.0.0.100
wccp set router-ip-address 10.0.0.101
to configure the WX to peer WCCP with multiple routers.
Can anyone advise whether (a) there is any undocumented support for WCCPv2 in multicast mode, or (b) whether the explicit definition of multiple unicast WCCP peer routers is supported?
I know this should really be a question to put to Juniper's tech support, but I have no access to it and have been asked by a customer to review a proposal including these products.
Any help greatly appreciated.
