Caching: Hero, let me educate you:) >>"Generally speaking, to enable data flow faster and more efficaciously across the Internet, companies have deployed 3 methods: Caching, Increased Bandwidth and or Outsourcing Server Management." CFLO is one of the key technological leaders of the first method, providing a set of caching products that helps place content closer to the user to speed up the congested networks that make up the Internet. "Caching" refers to the practice of placing a copy of frequently requested web content on strategically placed servers throughout a network with the expectation that those servers can more quickly deliver content to a user that is closer to that "copied" server rather than the host server in which the original content resides.<< In other words, I copied this from someone in the know, what I wouldn't do to be part of the syndicate.

Think of your refrigerator as a cache. You put a quart of milk there so you don't have to go to the market every time you have cereal. A cache sits on the network closer to you than the server. It caches (stores) the latest requested data that comes down the line in case someone else needs it, thereby saving bandwidth between the cache and the server.
