Another method for accelerating content delivery to browsers is to configure a router or switch on the network to route all HTTP traffic to a transparent proxy service you have set up on the appliance.
After this has been done, all network users automatically get accelerated content.
The specific configuration steps are different for each router or switch, but the basic concept is that the switch or router sends all browser requests that use the network's HTTP port number (port 80 in most cases) to the appliance.
You can also set the appliance as a streaming media transparent proxy server and have a router or switch send all streaming content requests to the appliance's streaming media transparent service.
Figure 5 illustrates how transparent proxy services work.
