WAAS Question: Byte Caching or Object Caching

[Network Digger]

Hello,

I have a quick question please, I know Cisco WAAS products support Object Caching, I need to know does it support Byte Caching as well?

I couldn't find much documentation about this part, so appreciate your support please, thanks.

Hi,

Cisco WAAS heavily relies on byte caching in its DRE (Data-Redundancy-Elimination) functionality.

Or to be more precise pattern caching or Chunk caching - check this link :

Object caching is used for SMB and Akamai connect caching.
