Transparent Cache Test

In terms of the GEN2 agreement, TELKOM operates a large web caching appliance that transparently caches most web requests from most GEN2 sites. This started under the HEIST agreement in October 2004, and reduces the requirement for shared SAT-3 bandwidth by about 10%. TENET bore the upfront cost of the cache appliance and bears the monthly service charges from TELKOM.
