I have a backup internet circuit for our company that we utilize ro run all web traffic, then all traffic if the other circuits are down. &nbsp;What that gives us is 2 seperate paths to the Interenet. &nbsp;I want to use a proxy, but want both outbound possibilties monitored. &nbsp;Our core router makes most sense to intercept packets, but I don't know exactly how well this will work. &nbsp; We already use 'Route-Map' to redirect packets to the backup circuit mentioned earlier. &nbsp; I also want to use WCCP on this router to redirect all packets through the proxy first. &nbsp; This will be transparent, not explicit proxy. &nbsp; Here's the question. &nbsp; Will WCCP process packets FIRST then apply the ROUTE-MAP? &nbsp; The point for me is that no matter which outbound connection is utilized, all packets hit the proxy via WCCP before any other processing. &nbsp; Hope I made this clear enough. &nbsp;Thanks!

what processes first, WCCP or Route-Map??

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
