Actually, this is being accomplished by packet accelerators, and they really do work very well. I install and support them for my company, and the difference is that they cache repetitive patterns at the bit level and have a lossless compression algorithm for any non repetitive data. It is not uncommon for us to see 400-1000% gains in line speed! Check www.Expand.com, they have the best product set in my opinion!
