LAFAYETTE, Colo. -- APconnections, a leading supplier of plug-and-play bandwidth shaping products, today released its most recent NetEqualizer feature - YouTube caching. In addition to further enhancing network quality, the release marks the latest achievement by the company in providing effective bandwidth management solutions while maintaining net neutrality.
The NetEqualizer YouTube caching feature will ensure fast and efficient access to the most popular YouTube videos while reducing overall network strain. This will lead to better quality of service for customers as well as long-term savings in bandwidth costs for administrators and Internet providers.
"Caching has always been an effective way to provide better service to users while protecting the investment of Internet providers," said Art Reisman, CTO of APconnections. "We believe that static Internet files such as YouTube videos represent a perfect opportunity for caching, so it just made sense for us to incorporate caching into the NetEqualizer itself."
By saving a copy of the top 300-500 trending videos locally on a NetEqualizer, caching prevents the need to repeatedly waste valuable bandwidth to access the videos from the YouTube server each time they are viewed, clogging bandwidth pipes. With caching, the pipes remain open and customers are assured their videos will play quickly and smoothly. (For more on the advantages of YouTube caching, see the NetEqualizer YouTube Caching FAQ.)
Furthermore, the YouTube caching feature allows NetEqualizer users to respect net neutrality by better achieving network optimization without controversial tactics such as Deep Packet Inspection or the preferential treatment of certain websites over others. (To learn more about caching and net neutrality, see NetEqualizer YouTube Caching a Win for Net Neutrality.)

The NetEqualizer is a plug-and-play bandwidth control and WAN/Internet optimization appliance that is flexible and scalable. When the network is congested, NetEqualizer's unique "behavior-shaping" technology dynamically and automatically gives priority to latency sensitive applications such as VoIP and e-mail, thus improving on other available bandwidth shaping technologies. The NetEqualizer controls network flow for the best WAN optimization.
