Application Acceleration and WAN Optimization Fundamentals

by Joel Christner CCIE No. 15311 and Ted Grevers

This book is an excellent overview of all aspects of both application acceleration and WAN optimization. Published by Cisco and general enough for anyone interested in learning more about this specialized area of networking. This book is a survey of the challenges and general (not Cisco specific) solutions to application performance and WAN optimization (bandwidth optimization) with enough detail to fully understand the subjects, without going into formulas and algorithms.
