whitepaper WAN and Application Optimization: Enhancing the WAN Experience With Performance Routing and Wide Area Application Services2008-04-01 Cisco Systems
  As applications are being centralized, users are becoming increasingly distributed, and as IT organizations are constantly challenged to deliver more services, such as rich content and video to the customers, the performance limitations of WAN, such as limited bandwidth, significantly longer latency, and packet loss, are seriously slowing down application delivery. The Cisco WAN and Application Optimization solution is a set of tools and techniques working together to improve the reliability, performance and delivery of applications securely across an arbitrary network. Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) and Cisco Performance Routing (PfR) are two of the prominent WAN Optimization tools to optimize application delivery - at both the application level and network level.
