Abstract
An apparatus comprising a network interface coupled to a data network, a network address translator and a controller. The network interface may receive network traffic from the communicatively coupled data network adhering to any of a number of alternative network protocols. The network address translator identifies network session information within the received network traffic adhering to any of a number of alternative protocols. The controller selects network traffic to be cached based, at least in part, on the network session information identified by the network address translator.
