- Hi Mark, can we expect to see some write-ups of use cases for this product? Sounds interesting but I'm not certain where it would fit in. Is it a replacement for squid servers?
- Mark_Terrel_119Historic F5 AccountHi Josh, yes, definitely! We'll be working on adding a bunch of new LineRate-related content to DevCentral over the next couple of weeks. I just posted a case study for A/B testing of web applications that you might find interesting. And I also put up a fun demo that one of our developers did. Both of these show off the highly programmable nature of LineRate Proxy. See the two links below:
