Introduction
This document provides a sample configuration for transparent caching using Cisco Cache Engines and the
Content Switching Module (CSM). Transparent caching is the technique used to transparently intercept traffic
from a a Web browser and redirect it to a cache device to retrieve the content that was previously cached.
Content Switching Module (CSM). Transparent caching is the technique used to transparently intercept traffic
from a a Web browser and redirect it to a cache device to retrieve the content that was previously cached.
Another method to do transparent caching is Web Cache Communications Protocol (WCCP). The advantage
of transparent caching over WCCP is that the CSM looks at the URL requested by the client and decides if the
traffic should be sent to the cache or not. Requests for static files such as gif or jpeg images are retrieved from
the cache, while dynamic pages (result of a script) are retrieved directly from the server without going to the
cache.
