Fast kernel packet engine
The appliance contains a high-speed core TCP/IP network packet engine
called the Adaptive Redirection Module (ARM). This packet engine supports
high-speed interception of traffic for transparency, supports automatic bypass
of sites that do not function properly with proxy caches, and efficiently
streams data to the Intel NetStructure Cache Appliance. See Transparent
proxy caching‚ on page 120 for more information.
