its hard to get any better than "runs at wire-rate with no impact on switch 
performance".
:-)


i sent a private email to Antoine, but given its probably of interest to a 
few folk --

WCCP isn't currently supported on the Sup720/MSFC3 with the 12.2(14)SX2 
software release (the release-notes at 
<http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/cat6000/122sx/ol_4164.htm#25624> 
indicate this).

the good news is that it is currently targeted at being supported in the 
Sup720/MSFC3 with the 12.2(17a)SX2 software release.


cheers,

lincoln.
