Internet Service Providers (ISPs) can reduce bottlenecks by deploying Java System Web Proxy Server:
At each point of presence (POP) and then clustering them at the Internet gateway to provide faster, more reliable service and reduce network congestion between the POP and the central Internet gateway
At their Internet gateway, reducing traffic on their link to the Internet, but not on their own network from the POP to the Internet gateway
Enhance Network Performance in the Enterprise
