Bandwidth Management?

You may be wondering what Bandwidth Management has to do with Proxies. At this week's RSA Conference, Blue Coat Systems was showing off a demonstration in their booth where their ProxySG allowed all text to be displayed immediately from sites categorized as Sporting, but bandwidth limited all the graphics on the page to only 1kbps. The obvious benefit here of course is that you get all the textual content, and prevent the graphics on the page from using up all the internet bandwidth available, so that actual job-related use of the internet can continue.
