                WAAS is a system of devices called WAEs that optimize TCP traffic over a network by intercepting and redirecting traffic to act on behalf of client applications and destination servers. The WAEs examine traffic and use built-in application policies to determine whether to optimize or allow it to pass through unoptimized.
