The linked post is a few years old (2008) but interesting, especially if you're getting started in networking and having discussions with your peers about the speed at which a file of a given size might expect to be transferred across a network (WAN specifically), given a couple of known throughput parameters.
Make what you will of the WAAS "subtle" marketing - he is a Cisco employee, in all fairness. That being said, it's still interesting and educational to get a peek into how some of the functionality used in WAN Acceleration works.
